Nice. Pls consider 5/7/5 cylab as: Crowds and solitude..World is a house of mirrors..I'm the spectator; a show. Pls re-entry your haiku; it's beautiful.

"world a house of mirrors" - a provocative line. Original use of the haiku form. keep it up! Yours Matthew Anish

So much implied in so few words... the 'spectator/show' idea is brilliant. Best wishes, Keith

Loved this. I love the first line...the many images of yourself giving the illusion of a crowd but only to realize that you are still alone. Nice Haiku.
