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
