Reaching out. (a haiku?)

Garry

I reached out for you. 

You just smiled and walked away 

Walked out of my life.

    Thanks GARRY ~ Great HAIKU ~ 17 syllables in three line 5~7~ 5 syllable pattern. Each line is complete in itself and there is an action (line one) and a reaction (line two) and a finality (line three). Strictly speaking because it is about people it is a SENRYU ~ but most MPS Members call all 5~7~5 three line ~ free verse (non~rhyming) poems HAIKU so it is OK. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN (UK). Please check my poems ~ Thanks B

    Thank you. That was most informative. I will look up senryu and do more research on haikus.
    Your support is much appreciated.
