Where Fable Faltered...

 

　

Where Fable faltered

And Legend languished in loss,

Myth made miracles.

A thought-provoking Haiku. The alliteration is superb in such few words. The expression is similar to a domino effect, each being a derivative of the other (Fable, Legend, Myth) or a hierarchy depending on the situation and/or recipient. This may sound strange but I almost feel these three are alive dressed in some knightly garb. Nevertheless, enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

this is a great little piece.
There are few people who can really capture their mood or their thoughts in simple words in such a short piece. I really like this. I adore the way you've written this, I love what you've made it mean.

Fable faltered, legend languised, and myth rose to the surface as a way to spread the dreams and imagination of the world.

Wonderful.

a fable is a wonderful way to subtly spill truths in creative ways
what is reality to one is a fable for another...
what is fable for one is reality for another
this expression comes to life to perceiver and is filled with subtle miracles
thank u.

... oh ... wow ... that's a bazooka ... in profundity ... and the absolutely brilliant deployment of alliteration ... "and legend languished in loss" ... is a universe of meaning ... awesome ...

beautiful.

The most formidable handicap for a creator would be non-existence. Therefore, if we that the universe is the product of an existent we conceive a greater being, namely, one who created everything while not existing. I like your poetic approach, a great Haiku, really; but is myth or the folk story, not a tautology? For legend is also a folk story and it is a fable and it is a saga..

Very thought provoking. I had to re-read it a few times it was so good. A beautiful haiku =)

I've never been much for Haikus, but this just made me re-think that. There are so many things to think about, it sent my mind wandering, well done.

This is short, but with a strong, deep meaning.
This is Amy, I use to be on here as AngelicDarkness, and
was on Vicious Social for a while. Took a short writing
break but decided to come back:).

Succinct. i love the use of the one-word major players that invoke all their meaning to the sense. Bravo!
