I couldn’t help but smile from this poem, brillaint work but added humor,lol or maybe it is just me percieving something that is not there but your work is always very clever!
Yours is the first I’ve read here on Triond that actually used the “5-7-5″ that I was taught, back in elementary school, was the basic structure of haiku. I think some believe that if a poem is short enough, it is a haiku… Every time I’ve come across one, I counted the syllables and shook my head….
The message of the ball of fire…. I’ll have to get back to you on that one. Nice work!
I love this haiku and your photo is otherworldly!
By the way, I’ve followed your suggestion and added a photo to my Two Dogs in the Foothills and other writing, Thanks
Wonderful picture, Ken. When you first open this up all you want to do is look at the picture and then when you read the words ball of fire, i can’t interpret. Wow! Great pictue and nice haiku.
