Ronovan Writes Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt Challenge #39 Vie & Reach

Posted on 9 Apr 201513 Apr 2015 by Colleen M. Chesebro

Ron from Ronovan Writes had us use the words “vie and reach,” for this week’s Haiku challenge. I like to call this visual haiku, “Survival.”

Thanks for stopping by to see what I have been up to today. I look forward to seeing you all again!

This haiku was recognized on 4/13/15 by Ronovan Writes.

This reminds me of a Tao saying, something like ‘leaf falling shows its front and back’ as a metaphor for the passage of a human life. Wish i could remember the exact quote. Lovely Haiku and congratulations on being Ronovan’s Choice!

I wonder if the leaves are disappointments, failures or just false starts. Nice haiku.

  I thought of it as an opposite in that, we must have some bad to appreciate the good. When we excel, it is just not a simple road. There are potholes present too. Thank you for enjoying Meredith. ❤
