Ignorant Knows Not


September 18, 2012 Prompt :Starve

Ignorant Knows Not..


Famished she
starved of attention;
He is busy

He is busy
in an illusive world;
starved of fame

Starved of fame he,
and she for some attention;
empty life goes on..

Empty life goes on
starved for its own essence;
ignorant knows not


RS:)

  2. Oh, so sad to have an empty life even when there is someone to share with.

  3. Ramesh, your precious haiku reminded me of Odysseus and Penelope: she always waiting for him while he was travelling. He was so ignorant! At the end, when he returns home, he says to her, "You are my world". He was wise!

  6. There is something very cyclical about this poem. Nicely written Ramesh.

  14. I like it, RSji. When both are wanting different things, the life seems empty.

    I do wonder if the repetition in the third one has a less effective outcome on the entire cascade.

  15. Sometimes we seek outside because we are unaware that we have everything we desire within. This is the essense and beauty of your haiku message. Enjoyed it as always. Best regards, Nimu :-)
