#Haiku Happenings #4: Jules’ latest haiku sequence for my current #haikai challenge!
grasping at straw
from a favorite
author, a ray of sunshine
that scarecrow’s smilethe one from Baum’s Oz
who danced in living color
that scarecrow’s smilegave me confidence;
I too, could find a brain, joy –
that scarecrow’s smilefrom school and study
despite those who thought I lacked
that scarecrow’s smilea moody child who,
judged unfairly dared to dream;
that scarecrow’s smilebroke through their false walls
of low expectations; found
that scarecrow’s smilehung to happiness,
gained independence ‘cause of
that scarecrow’s smile©J/h
