Ecotrain QOTW: Hope

even stunned anguish
can be pierced by a mere breath
pull hope through the dread


I love haiku. The simplest of things are not only the most difficult to understand, but also the best described by simple words.


I got hooked on haiku by @bananafish and the mizu no oto contest @bananafish/mizu-no-oto-every-image-has-its-haiku-cada-imagen-tiene-su-haiku-32-ganadores

Haiku is by no means easy. If any of you wordsmiths would like to give it a go, @bananafish's link above has a great haiku guide. It gives me quite a rush when the words I have been tossing around for days finally drop into the groove.

Alas, mizu no oto is no more, so please indulge my longing for it, and thank you for the perfect prompt.


This is my entry to @ecotrain's @ecotrain/ecotrain-qotw-launch-post-join-us-and-write-a-poem-on-hope


And the image? Yeah that's mine. Hopefully my words paint a picture.
