Notes About The Poem

The Passersby

sweet dreams in their eyes
bright as sunshine on flowers
ere the purple falls

they come and they go
each rosy day of our lives
like fruitful seasons

footsteps fade like mist
or brief butterfly visits 
on paths of color

Hi Evelyn, The photo of footsteps worked so well the string of haikus about the subject. I liked them all but especially liked the last one. Well done. Have a nice day-Alexis

I often think the same, but i look at the thousands, millions of cars on the roads, and then look at an army of ants traveling towards some purpose, and I think to myself, what a small difference there is between the two. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
