Will She Be Herself?

September 30, 2012


Prompt: Free
( Thank God, it's free)


Will She Be Herself?

She is a daughter
a sister, a wife , a mother;
will she be herself

Will she be herself
she has often wondered;
silent skies listen

Silent skies listen
ah, whenever she looks up;
no, free answers fall

No free answers fall;
she continues to strive, ah
'She' of my haiku…


RS:)

My ode to women culminates with the prompt
from Rachana..whose name translates into 'Creation'
Hope Creation finds my final Ode to 'She'..worthy..

 
THANK YOU …..LEO

  2. Ramesh--some similar thoughts floated through my mind today regarding the concept of "free." I decided I could in no way do the word justice in a haiku--but you did! Well done.
