Where Fable Faltered...

A haiku about belief (so to speak).

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 blew me away. I mean it is really good. Much depth..just perfectly done. Love that Myth made miracles...very well executed!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Myth has made many a miracle indeed. But most myths have some basis in fact. I used to watch a show called Myth Busters where they exposed myths as false or proved them to be at least possible. I like the alliteration in this piece.

Each line presents a deepening degree of antiquity. Each key figure seems to push the confines of reality a little further with myth being the furthest from man. So we have the leap of faith so to speak here it seams, the test of what existence is, and what forces play upon men the most. Well done, and well executed.

In life, when everything else fails, people rely on just anything. This may have something to do with survival. A well-thought out piece.

Absolutely beautiful...

Short and right to the point. No hidden depths, it's all there in the truth.

I love the way your mind works, Legion, and it is always a pleasure to read your work.

There is an absolutism to this piece that touched me. "Myth made miracles"- yes, it did, and they endured. I think that's what you are trying to get at here... the enduring vs the fleeting vs the ephemeral, perhaps.

Myths empower us like you say...
thanks for the reminder..
here's to social phenomenas that
strengthen our souls...
