Oh, pillar of strength,
With arms out-stretched and your trunk
So deeply rooted.

BluesSerenade---Thank you! I love writing Haikus and Tankas. So much can be conveyed with so few words.

Does anyone know of a way to change a title (topic) if you make a typo like I did?

Powerful piece!Excellent twist at the end that was really the goal of the piece all along. Masterful!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Sunshine.... I just received your email. Thank you! I've made the change to my title. I feel like a bit of a numbskull! I know how to edit, Lord knows I've done it enough! I think I was over-tired and didn't think of looking up----way up---to see that I could make a change above the edit area for the body of the poem.

Sunshine----Yes, I have ventured forth and posted poems to both the Spiritual and Dark poetry forums.  The spiritual poems come very easily to me, but the dark ones are a bit more difficult---more of a stretch.  I think everyone should be able to express the shadow side of themselves. Keeping in balance---it's a yin yang thing! As they say, there are two sides to every coin!

Thanks again!

Attention everybody! This is not an x-rated haiku! It's about a tree, not a man!
Ha! Ha! Ha!

This Haiku is as strong as an oak.
And is deeply rooted in meaning. Nice one!!!
It reminds me of a lot of people in my life. Thanks for the memories!!

I love this! Haiku's are so awesome if well written and this one was.

Noah---Excuse my ignorance, but since I'm a new kid on the block here at PIP, I don't know what ROTFL means. In fact I have received a others like that and I haven't a clue what they mean either. Could you help me out with this?
