September 19, 2012 Prompt: Island
She Can’t Be An Island
A mother, a wife,
she can’t be an island;
He roars like a sea
He roars like a sea,
she turns into an island;
so vulnerable
So vulnerable ,
waves of pride die down soon;
island vanishes…
Island vanishes,
she emerges much stronger;
a mother, a wife
RS:)
No man is an island!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Intense! Like the way you have used the prompt!!!
ReplyDeleteJust loved this one ... truly amazing !!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this haiku. She waivers but she returns - because she must. It is her life after all.
ReplyDeleteIntense haiku cascade Ramesh. Strong words and images ... well done ... and so different as what I have read 'till now for this prompt island.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm betting she was a lot stronger all along than he thought. Marriage and motherhood are not for the weak at heart. :-)
ReplyDeleteSimply awesome... The tale of a lady, a wife & a mother is so beautifully captured :) Thanks
ReplyDelete"She roars like a sea" - my favorite of the entire lot. But you painted the whole picture is so vividly with words I could imagine the interplay.
