Haiku 5

In its final soar 
Finds the limb it learned to fly 
Lands, to fly no more

A definite cycle of life you have captured with your pen, in my favorite form. Wonderful use of imagery as well in this tiny masterpiece. Painting a picture in so few words is difficult but you seem to be on your way to be painting many. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. This one will go straight to my favorites.

I love them to. Trying to condense a "heart grabbing" message in so few words is a challenge...and I love trying to find the right words that blend into a message readers might be enticed by. Thanks for your comment, Pandita....YF....Gene.
