Premiere Contest WinnerOn the Road

gift of one’s soul
poor poet such wealth
time to hit the road

reflection
dew drop prism
spider weaves

lazy river
silvery moon

I see this has a trophy win by it. So cool. I came here tonight to let you know that I got a friend request from you and accepted it, but when I went to friends of mine, I saw I had you on my list twice, so I think this new person has hacked your account. Immediately i blocked whoever that friend request came from. let me know if it really was you, and then I'll unblock it, but I think it was not you. have a good Sunday, Harry.

Beautiful metaphoric images are strung together with utmost brevity and great depth. The first and second ones are equally great. The poet is the weaver of words and the spider, the weaver of the gossamer thread where the dew drops suspended act as prisms. Congratulations on your wonderful win.... harry

Short, minimal use of words, but very effective, Harry. I need to find out what a "Hiku" is! ~ Regards // paul
