Tattered Wings

Battered silhouettes,
Soar across a cloudless sky:
Migrating sorrows.

wow, Raul, you really captured the spirit of your picture and this is a stunning final line. Can't wait to see my placement in your contest. I am really worried about not seeing the blogs and wondering if it's just me having the problem. Luv, andrea

Heartfelt Haiku to our fellow inhabitants Raul. I sat for ages staring at the pic you posted " Tattered Wings " the foundations of many of my poems are music related. To most on the Soup, the tracks i use will probably never ever be heard by 99% of the Soup. The foundation for my entry was " Murder in the Skies " by Gary Moore > called " The Russians have shot down, a plane on its way to Korea " - Murder in the Skies. Thank you for this honour, so much appreciated >> James
