Misplaced once again,
Solitary. Surrounded.
What’s the difference?
A/N: A haiku - just for you! What does this say to you? I am very interested in interpretations of my haikus!
I have unfortunately had a period of ill health, so poetry has been a useful outlet for me. I am happy to report that there are improvements and I think a diagnosis is around the corner!
Also around the corner...more FABLES!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Great haiku! So well done
This felt like one of those scenes in a movie when the MC finds themselves in a crowds room and all the company they could ask for but they're still lonely... almost that like longing for love sensation. Ya know? Hoping you feel better!! 💚
Liked your Haiku. Hope now you are ok.
Sometimes we can just feel lost, whether we're alone, or not. Like a feeling of not belonging. That my interpretation.
Sorry to hear you've not been well. So my interpretation is the voice not being understood so no matter where you/it is placed, there is no sense of belonging. I don't see misplaced as "lost" but in the wrong place and that this comes from either not being fully present in the world or feeling like they are present but not being recognised how they want to be. I'm leaning towards the latter. There is sadness and resentment at this. However, you could also, with your pictures be talking about leaves and snowflakes, which gives it a slightly different interpretation. They have a job to do. Either way, they're falling. Is there a sense of duty, inevitability to their fate? I like analysing poetry! Thanks and all my best wishes to you. Hope they get you sorted.
So sorry to hear you're not well. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️ As for your Haiku, I felt that it meant that when we dissociate, whether we're alone or surrounded by people, it still feels the same
I really like your haiku. Profound and poignant in so few words.
To me your haiku says, "feeling left out, or a sense of not belonging".
