Bending gracefully, willows cry ~ the oaks console. Their tears form a lake. Cheryl McClellan 1/14/02 |

Cheryl - I really like these short writes. For some reason they always feel like they have so much more meaning to them then the average poem. At least to me. Well done. Dave |

Fallon, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I love the challenge of writing these haikus. Cheryl Noah, Can't you just see the willows bending over. Their branches hanging over the water like a woman washing her hair. Glad you liked it. Cheryl |

Peaches, I'm glad you took time to read this. I like to be able to find more than one meaning behind the words too. Thanks for reaading. Cheryl Dave, I think the haiku has so much impact because you have to pack a lot of imagery in three short lines. I love the challenge. Thanks, Cheryl |

Mauddib, I do love the brevity of haiku. I think it has more impact sometimes than my longer poems. Thanks for reading. Cheryl |
