Morning News Haiku


Where is the true world
with its shared dreams of spring thaw?
Who makes their home there?

(Thanks to One Deep Breath for the inspiration.)

I guess the answer to the haiga is to be "the faces of our youth" pictured. I haven't seen a photo as a reply to a poem in this way before. Interesting method.

Welcome to ODB!
I especially like the last line of your haiku...such a resonance of truth in how you paired the photo with the haiku :-)

Thanks for your kind comments, everyone. I wrote my next contribution in my head while driving to the grocery store... an interesting feeling.
