A #Haiku for Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 52

 

First, a belated, happy blogversary to Colleen Chesebro! She celebrates her one-year milestone with challenge no 52: Joy and Spirit.  Here is my challenge-accepted haiku:

 

old spiritual

fleeting joy in his eyes

    An excellent Haiku, Frank. A poignant twist at end. Touched me deeply. Many thanks for the anniversary wishes of our poetry challenge. Best thing for creativity I ever did.

    That last line, my goodness. Those 2 word shouldn’t even exist together. We’re doing a lousy job of it. Strong haiku.
