Has no full freedom.

what amazing paradox we can find here between: /calm/ and /no full freedom/ this deep short poem guides us to the philosophy of life; indirectly saying: always people struggle to find perfectness, and that is what makes us so harmonic and sociable. excellent for this wonderful masterpiece of work with a big 10+ and onto fav list

How true. A body of water imprisoned by itself. Sad and tragic at the same time. No other than deep and amazng poets woud realize such things! Excellent work!

Lake, a loveliest Haiku, I like most. What is the summing up of this elegant loveliest Haiku? It's about a lake, and added with metaphors, that conjures a thought provoking verse, well, its water is deprived of freedom, since it cannot go elsewhere, if it concerns a human kind, that's not a scintillating view, a human can become depressed, deprived of freedom, for a long while, man can die. An absolute loveliest 5-7-5 Haiku,

A beautiful poem! Like a bird in a cage, the water surrounded by land on all sides cannot flow freely like a stream or a river. The lake though with enormity of water has restricted movement and is stagnant! Stagnation sets in all lives where the freedom is restricted. A Very meaningful haiku and a sure 10... Rose Marie!
