Vertiginous heights,
Soaring mountains reaching clouds -
Better these than I.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Delightful Sky-ku… if you don’t suffer from vertigo or fear of heights 🤣.
Wonderful how you captured so many feelings of emotions in so few words. Exceptional work, Grz!!!
Really love that word Vertiginous, aptly describes my feelings lately, a roller coaster of this life of ours. Be well and happy.
Vertiginous—what a fabulous use of the word. It paints a picture with so few words. The beauty in simplicity. Well done!
Whoa, this haiku is a breath of fresh mountain air! 🏔️ Crisp, vivid, and humbling—absolutely loved it. Keep those poetic gems coming!🤗✨
Lovely sky-ku 🤍
I do love "vertiginous" 😁
an amazing piece from an amazing writer
Wow! What a great take! And I learned a new word!
Oh, I just love this - I'm especially intrigued by the word "Vertiginous"! Awesome haiku, Grz!
Great work!
Oh my, I'll just die! I'm so afraid of heights to the extent I can't even go one step up a ladder 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stunning sky-ku!! I love the direction this took us in, Grz!!
Surely describes the dizzying heights of huge mountain ranges. Great work and what a great image you chose.
I hear you. I am terrified of heights! ‘Soaring mountains reaching clouds -’ magnificent! And as if you need more encouragement read all the comments below. Highly relatable to some but very much an Outstanding Sky-ku.! Pauline 🌸
Oh, I like this. Especially the last line. Wonderful job.
I feel similarly about deep caves. Very alluring and interesting, but not for me to explore.
Outstanding!!
Loved the haiku even though I can’t fully relate as I have no fear of heights. The image gives a great perspective.
This has an epic feel to it, but one that could be squeamish for some ha. I have a sorta fear of heights. It really depends on situation, place etc. Well done, on this one buddy! another cracker!
Excellent Sky-ku !!! The imagine and the feeling of fear
Not keen on heights, Grz?
