i like this much better than the first haiku i read today. i also like birds....a lot. both poems seems to follow what i think of as the general rule: 5-7-5. and deal with nature. i tend to take the poem literally. there is a bird high in the sky. no shadow is noticeable below. i don't need to try to philosophize about it to enjoy it; in fact i'd rather not philosophize! bri :)
Thanks Much Bri, I am happy that u liked it choice is yours how you wish to interpret....
when you are powerful and rich downtrodden and poor you cannot reach thanks Asim
This haiku feels like somehow is completing the previous poem I just read...the analogy between the bird and the human-soul...
Bliss! wish I could fly this high and vanish from this treacherous world. And for me high is in the terms of spirituality. beautiful Haiku Asim.10++++ for giving me the direction to fly all above the worries.
From too high, the shadow is dispersed much too wide to be of consequence
Like the bird when we are too high, much above the rest, we can't even cast a shadow! One has to be within reachable distance. A beautiful lesson through a beautiful haiku!
Alone bird flies in lone very high in up above the sky. Very wonderful imagery is drawn in this haiku and this expresses wise humor. Fantastic sharing...10
From height you do not see others and you are free from worries. Great.
