island

desolate island--
dying trees
reach up to heaven

Author notes

went out to an island yesterday and was struck by the shapes of the dried out trees

Please tell me what you think

    Wow. I wish I could see this island, it sounds mysterious and majestic at the same time; beautifully penned

      thank you so much for your comment, phantomsangel..I sure appreciate your taking the time to read and comment. I love haiku and am really inspired living here in the keys with the beautiful pallet of nature around me.

    I've always thought that trees and flowers appear to be reaching for heaven, too. The fact that the trees are dying puts a new spin on that idea. This image reminded me of how people tend to get more religious or spiritual as they get older (because they're cramming for their final exam. lol) I'm not usually a big fan of haiku (being a long-winded S.O.B. ) but there's no denying the power of this image.

    Oh, that's cool! I'm not very familiar with haikus, but I liked this one!
