  • Jane Jane on Sep 17, 2009

    great haiku with a nice picture. Just hope that message never comes.=)

  • ashan1614 on Sep 18, 2009

    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!

  • riccardof on Sep 19, 2009

    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

  • teddybear55 on Sep 21, 2009

    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.

  • Sheila M on Sep 22, 2009

    Perhaps the meaning
    beyond interpretation
    requires not one thought

    You know I love your poetry, haiku and all:)

  • deep blue on Sep 25, 2009

    Fiery indeed.

  • Greg Wolford on Sep 30, 2009

    Very nice. I’ve always been fond of haiku and tanka.
