Eye opening. It is not only at birth or childhood that we can awaken to this world but at every instant as we see things from a different light a different angle. Anthropomorphism a wonderful tool as is the metaphor. Almost a parable or fable. Well done.

And you fly ! Yes you do, we see it.

What a super way to convey your message in this poem. I was intrigued and very quickly smiling whilst reading.

Great creative work and a message for us all.

A Letter to Whomever it Corresponds to
Paul Bell said:

The Californian fires, like the Australian fires, usually started deliberately by fools who don\'t understand the speed of fire.
We\'re living in strange times, and it seems like the loonies are running the asylums now.

Yes, sometimes we never stop to actually see what is around us.
Maybe that\'s the human condition, constantly on the rubber band stretching for something or praying for the immpossible.

Bella Shepard said:

You have most accurately penned this letter to YOU. I wonder sometimes if entropy will become the natural state of our existence, when we\'ve used up all the energy of life. Our future is already there , we make it every minute of every day, we just lack the vision to see it. Ignorance can be cured through education, if the ignorant are willing to learn. But as the saying goes, there\'s no cure for stupid, especially when it is worn as a badge of honor. A great intuitive, thought provoking piece, Kudos to you!

This is a fine and splendid work
Summing up the disasters that are wrecking our life
Which still continue to plague our life
You didn’t miss even a single one
I hope this ends soon

sorenbarrett said:

Rocky this piece of work goes way beyond. So many elements incorporated in one Haiku is unusual. Alliteration, philosophical, metaphor, maintaining a single theme, meter, Wow!!! Impressive.

theneophiles_words said:

This poem is a remarkable spectacle of that close-knitted tender bond.
The line \'You have to learn to anchor yourself first\' is engaging. We forget such a simple thing and get carried away with every other thing, and when you said, \'and decided to make it into a canvas\'; it showed no matter what life tosses us into, it\'s our steadiness and decisiveness that will help us sail throw it. Astonishing!😊✨

Yes you are right. Often we get it wrong sometimes we get it right. But being a parent was harder than any exam I ever sat.

i read it and enjoyed for what it is - then I read your description of it and it took on a new meaning - either way a gem of a write.

Wonder in her senyru
I witnessed childhood of many
In her senyru
I found advice
That spoke of kid and parents teaching in life
So well crafted dear Rocky

I heard a discussion recently on our Public Radio about gentle parenting. I wonder where that would fit in. Maybe a cake server instead of spatula. Short but sweet!

I think one of the greatest songs about the relationship of parents and their children is Cats In The Cradle by Harry Chapin. Great write Rocky🍻👏🕊🌞

Parents, who would have them.
I suppose, though, you do get to pick their care homes. You can see why kids divorce their parents now.

Christina8 said:

This is absolutely wonderful--so deep for a Haiku/Senryu. I actually thought the spatula was meant to hurt but as you say, it\'s the parent. Sometimes we\'re succulent--well reared and others \"scared stoic\". Great piece of work Rocky, keep it up!

How wonderfully you played with words dear Rocky….always amazed my the ease with which you string the words….some advices, some satires, a bit of smirk yet posing intriguing questions….really enjoyed it….
And simply adored every line
Yet this caught me many a times
“ Light.

A promise to show you the door –

A door that ought to be opened of course.

A light that slowly flickers, however, – a Lie.”

Thank you for sharing this very meaningful beautiful poem. Mothers love unconditionally. We hope that whatever we shared and taught and bonded and loved with our sons and daughters will help to light their paths and ease their burden at some point in their lives.
