Arrogance Melts Too..


Written for Rebecca's
Haiku My Heart..



Arrogance Melts Too
(chained free haiku..)


I look up with hope
at a big black group of clouds;
dark skies laugh at me

Dark skies laugh at me
yet, obligingly give rains;
arrogance melts too

Arrogance melts too
as puddles of water grow;
she floats paper boat

She floats paper boat
carrying forbidden dreams;
ah, smoke without fire

Ah, smoke without fire,
rain too gets a  lot stronger;
I look up with hope..


RS:)

  1. The rain washes the Sacred Earth Mother and soothes, cools us. We could use it here. I'll remember to be humble.

    Peace

  3. Very nice poem.

    Greater the darkness more is the illumination of light. Light cannot be seen in light. It requires darkness to be seen.

    So God takes you through turmoils to give you experience of Bliss.

  7. I'm not sure I'd put my forbidden dreams on any boat! (But I suppose a paper one is best.) Delightful!
