Hopeless Haiku

sylviasearcher

Leap from mountain top

She hoped the sky would catch her

Bloody death stained rocks

  • Fay Slimm.

    Vivid word-picture of a jump into death which is all too familiar in this day and age - thanks for this excellent haiku Sylvia.

    • sylviasearcher

      Thanks Faye.

      It is world suicide prevention day on 10th September.

      Still people fear talking about suicide.

      Silence kills 💜

    • Michael Edwards

      Nothing hopeless here - bit sombre but a great write.

      • sylviasearcher

        Thank you

          We want to steer clear of Miss Sue E. Side! Dunno what the 'E' stands for.

          • Michael Edwards

            An 'E' book by Eileen Dover

            • sylviasearcher

              Endless? Eternal?

              • Michael Edwards

                The book I refer to is called 'Over The Cliff' (by Eileen Dover). Not endless when she reached the bottom.

                • sylviasearcher

                  Sounds like an interesting read. I was suggesting Es for orchidee. I will have to look up the book.

                    A fine haiku Sylvia. She never gets there, to the bottom of the mountain! is she on a very elastic bungee jump there?! lol.
