I like your beautiful Haiku words….and how they
embrace each other, Faith, Hope and Charity, you use vivid imagery in all three….your description of faith is visual, your description of hope is depicted through a kind of tragedy, but with hope that life will be better, and you describe charity as a way of giving life by nourishing the earth with greenness.
Fine job.
Best

I couldn't be happier to have gotten those points across .. haiku are fun and very malleable even with a strict form ...thanks again for sharing your thoughts on my poetry, Betty ... means a lot!

Drawn into hope - how apt, descriptive as Haiku should be creating a moment of mental bonding across the miles. I love how our work can travel time and distance into the minds of the reader.

An evocative Japanese trio. Poetically expressed in suitably succinct fashion! You did well!

A great use of nature. Water so soft and flexible but it can cut the hardest rock, earth and the symbolism of creation all wonderfully crafted and merged.

I love haiku's they are fun to write and you are most welcomed
And all the time Mother Nature keeps her pattern of nurturing us all. Faith and hope, two very fragile things but nevertheless everything at times and the bounty of maintaning such is to see life is a balance. Balance is key. The sun always follows a storm :) A delight to reflect on these haiku dear E :)

Love the images your words conjure in these very creative haikus. The veiled mist over rock pools, the fertile, dark, enriched, life giving soil and green forests being spun by magical creatures. Indeed, nature is a lesson in faith, hope and charity!
