Icarus Narrative

A couple of original haikus inspired by the story of Icarus and Daedalus

We soared like eagles,

You yearned to fly higher still,

I was left behind.

You abandoned me,

Snagged by your aspirations,

You were lost to me.

now a broken dream,

It's too late for redemption,

There is no return.

I've never seen them put into a series like this. It's hard enough to write one, but to have 2 more that match and build on the same theme is pretty smart.

yeah I figured they would make more sense if I put them in a "series" per say.
