Bamboo ~ Haiku.

Haiku 1

a fragile woman
a lifetime of inner strength
a graceful bamboo

Haiku 2

a ballet dancer
mesmerized with the wind’s tune
the seasons succumbed

Haiku 3

bamboo shoots stand tall
among dry leaves and mushrooms
a succulent wood

We can learn so many things from the bamboo. It is tall and straight but it can withstand many storms and gusty winds. We can apply that also in life’s journey. Thanks for visiting my posts. appreciate it

What a great way to start my day: read your haikus and be inspired by them. I love the comparisons you made. I’d love to write a reader’s response like the ones I made for Tu Fu’s and Wang Wei’s poems. What do you think?

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Thank you for your wonderful insights and interpretation of my piece. Thank you for being such a great inspiration.

To Rhodora , yes, I would love you to do a reader’s response. I’d be honored.
