Haiku Tree In Library Entryway

Haiku Tree in Library Entryway 

Say a haiku tree in library entryway
Trying to understand what they did say
And to read nothing will it ever cost
But each time I do I am totally lost.

Is there some way it could be simplified?
On your interpretation, people have relied
And each haiku you can better understand
What was in mind and perfectly planned.

A woman saw me taking pictures of tree
While she swept off rug and asked me
Do you know what each haiku may mean
And on my opinion she started to lean.

All poetry is personal from your soul
Not destroying or being on a death noll
But causing and making you try to think
Even though on occasion there is a kink.

So I insinuated, persisted and had insisted
She should come see us at Poetry Revisited
For poems for her to enjoy and appreciate
But a while longer she had decided to wait.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
Need a category called haiku.

Hi, James, In your 1st line did you mean Saw instead of Say? True what you say about the haiku being personal and from the individual soul. I liked your poem.~~Darlene

Darlene, You are right. Spell check will not catch that. Am trying to push having a haiku tree at our church. Read my recent haikus that I have posted. Jim Horn
