Thanks Teri, for the prompt...this word in fact defines many a life...on this planet and perhaps the life of planet too...
Haiku for OSI Prompt: Endure
Vanishing greens, Man
Adds fuel to Sun’s fury
Earth says, “I’ll endure.”
*****
Late addition for Haiku Heights : Porcelain... along with OSI: Endure
Magnificent , rare
Collection of porcelain
Endures her absence..

Tis a sad situation Ramesh!
ReplyDeleteBut Man, it is his own doing
and he has to suffer!
But how long should earth endure and
man should suffer the fury?
Short but very thoughtful thought!
The message is reverberating so loudly tellin us to do something now to save mother earth from further destruction!
I am at wordpress now: http://intelclub.wordpress.com/
And I certainly hope it does. Great green message.
ReplyDeleteAt least more people are hearing the green message but not enough - especially businesses - are doing something abpout it!
ReplyDeleteHow long will it? Thanks to put in words for a threat taken lightly.
ReplyDeleteStimulating post, especially to one who always eats his greens....
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that Earth will endure, with or without humans. Perhaps the real question is, Will humans endure? I suspect that the answer to that is "Probably".
Have a nice day, Boonie
Stunning, the last line of porcelain haiku really rips at the heart
ReplyDeletesometimes I wonder, how much earth will endure ...
ReplyDeletebeautiful Haiku
the porcelain one is so touching. brilliant
I am really afraid of the future.. forests cut down and farm lands being sold.. for concrete structures.. so how much will earth endure..
ReplyDeletenice thought provoking write up..
What power in these lines... I enjoyed your message and the beautiful way you present it!
ReplyDeleteVery timely message - Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteVery well written.
ReplyDeleteIt has been so hot here in Alabama-- several days where we hit 100 F and not even summer yet. The sky is hazy and white hot-- the earth will look very different if we don't get this under control.
ReplyDeletebut for how long? Thought provoking haiku.
ReplyDeleteYou have described a sad situation very beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe first haiku is a great message for World Environment Day!
ReplyDeleteHasn't it been man's innate nature to ever burden the one who is ready to take all...till the breaking point and then wonder what happened when it blows up .. and then to blame everyone except his own insensibility towards the one who took all.
ReplyDeleteNot only the rare collection of porcelain but a rare gathering of beautiful traits, embossed in a soft heart also endures her absence, though more beautifully....
Sir, I respect you even more now as your write up tells me how close is the pen to your heart. You seek it out in happiness and the deepest sorrow... like we turn to our best friend or Ma. I feel humbled to be able to be a witness to these beautiful feelings.
Regards
