lightly, tiny birds
will also sing these songs once
I’m dying

This poem was written in response to Carpe Diem Special #146, Etsujin’s “covered with cherry blossoms”, another great prompt hosted by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. All of the poems in the link-up can be read here. And, to finish, here’s Bob Marley –
Ohhh — well done! Nicely layered! 😉
And with Bob – very fun post! A favorite song.
I love the fact that you saw this post as fun – I was worried the haiku might have read too gloomily. That’s why I was pleased to add the song, which seems like a joyful version of the same idea 🙂
It was perfect – one layer with a Jisei – but another layer… without! 🙂
I love the subtle game of opposites… Great haiku, dear Sue.
All the best to you. Aquileana 😀
so much that can be said in a song (and in a haiku)
Nice layers indeed
Thanks, moondustwriter. Yes, the layers in haiku are one of the elements that I especially like – how the meaning can shift depending on how a person links the three lines in their reading 🙂
