Washed Away

Washed Away

Great wisdom takes time

It is quickly washed away

In the hands of fools

wow! how easy it is to take wisdom lightly ... a precious gift given to put our eyes on others well being says i ... and what a fool it is who treats it with disdain .. great pic ... wonderful wisdom in your senryu ... i imagine the minds of fools quickly collapse into darkness and confusion ... a powerful warning says i!

However beautiful sand might seem shimmering under the sun... heard in the pitch dark of a desert.. it mourns its shifting and dry expanse. have heard it! So, for me, this brief poem holds enormous meaning. Even has a touch of political unease!! Once said that it needs a wise man to solve the planet's problems but an analyst raised his hand and asked if a truly wise man would be foolish enough to even try. Similar thought to your fine write, Phill.

I love how the sand ties in with the haiku, even though it's not directly about sand. Good job!

Such a dynamic piece, condensed in seventeen syllables!

Indeed, often in the tide of the ignorance, social media its force. And, that image is what we're seeing in the US, a sandcastle collapsing, its supporting eroding. Insightful piece!
