Like The Water Hyacinth

Must we for friendship ( In Haiku Format Series )

 

the water hyacinth

floats with flotsam and refuse

goes along so smooth

 

surfs, ducks, bobs to tide

sunk nearly drowned but not drowned

spin, rise, resolute

 

down those roots we see

marine mammals, fish kissing

in that sanctuary

 

the best place they be

furnished by water hyacinth

all along the way

 

with the symbiosis

i envy water hyacinth

just the way they are

 

they just go along

with the nature of water

why not for friendship

sorry sir ency ha, medyo matagal akong magreview back sayo dito... But i always read my kabayans... so your most welcome.

[Ency Bearis]

I understand, sometimes due to hectic schedule we can't do the extra activities we want to do, as I am like that , and don't expect us to be like a Superman.

di lang ang hirap lang minsan kasi yung moody state ko mahirap maka connect sa isang poem or story... di ako makapag review... moody kasi ako :)

Nice poem, Sir Ency. You're unique. You're the only one who used water hyacinth as a symbol of friendship.

Nice Haikus!
