Lone Tree
On the rocky ledge,
Creaks the dying fragile tree.
Falls from life no more.

The artwork matches the words of the haiku like the poem was written in response to the picture. It does look like the tree is going to roll down the hill.
How we can see such different things....I see the tree that looks like every other but was singled out and stands tall in it's beauty. It has the power to grow life amidst the rocky soil and somehow finds nutrition to live in the salted waters.....This looks a lot like my home on the central coast of California and I am in awe of it's beauty!! great write although sad....
I definitely see what you mean Dee...I must say i wrote the haiku before I picked the picture...so I kind of agree with you. Thanks for the read and review, Exxie
A gorgeous haiku andthe word (creaks) just puts a little bit extra which twists and turns for the juxtaposition to work so smoothly.
Lovely write dear exxie!!!
Woo
I like the Pic, works great with this creation of this write. All though I am more of a sonnet writer, I do like good Haiku. My reason for liking Haiku is, a writer has to work hard to truly paint their vision that one has in their mind. For a writer to paint the imagery to make a piece come to life with such short lines, my hat goes off to them.
Life its self is on the rocky ledge, and soon will fall.
