Coursing throughout blue planet
Joyous source of life
When anger seeps in
Tides turn, life-giver becomes
Source of destruction
A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five; traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
The above is a poem of two Haikus.

The second one is really good! Nature’s fury is indeed destructive. But are we learning?
Thank you Beloo… It indeed is, and we’ve seen ample and more examples 🙁 as for learning… all I can say is that is a very good question! 🙂
Beautiful….
Thanks buddy 🙂
Zabardast!

Your use of “Adam’s ale” put a big smile on my face! Loved that! And the truth your haikus bring with the water being both our friend and foe! <3

What an amazing shot! And is the haiku on bible? I just assumed. But powerful truly!
Thanks Sonia… nope, it’s on Archana’s book of thoughts 😉 and nature’s existence, which doesn’t need any bible… 🙂
Very Beautiful….

Thanks sire 🙂
Existence is paradoxical; so is water. Nicely expressed 🙂
So true… it is indeed paradoxical… thanks Ravish 🙂
