Make Me Whole

 

Battered, broken tree

reaching up toward heaven

tears will heal your soul

Wonderful! That is most assuredly a haiku, despite the lack of one syllable in line 2. Keep in mind that the true haikuists in Japan did not write 5-7-5 lines. That format comes from likely translations of Japanese lines and because of it, a haiku can stray a little from the syllabic 5-7-5 rule, unless a contest says otherwise. But your haiku says it all! Kudos to you.

I did not know that trees had souls, although it is an interesting concept. I like it as it has a certain

kind of appeal.

Simply beautiful.....one would think such a small amount of words would bring a small review. Um, well, it isn't my fault that you mixed and matched words into perfection. I closed my eyes after the first read of this and felt weeping within. I just can't wait to read more of your work now....um, but I must. Need to be someplace else minutes ago. Very pleased to have found your poetry.

A brilliant write! This says so much in so few words. Although I'm more strict when it comes to Haiku but, that's just me, this write deserves the freedom it has enjoyed in straying away from the count. Very well penned.

Beautiful. Simple words for a simply awe-inspiring, evocative poem. Thank you for a metaphor that I could curl up inside and take a nap. :)

A plus.
