FIVE HAIKU BASED ON A QUOTE
by Paulo Coelho Quote:
“We have
lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life.”
1
Jackals leave
their young
To pursue
the scent of birds—
Greedy overkill.
2
Moon, you
waste your time
Dreaming the
impossible—
Be yourself
and shine.
3
Flowers
never fight
Color wars;
instead they don
Their raiment
like kings.
4
Fish and fowl live
Simple lives in sea and sky—
They know their places.
5
Toads on the lilies
Croak tower clocks to silence—
Time flies unnoticed.
