We promise ourselves
Above sallow sickly cloud
Skies are ever blue.

Beautiful poem!
A beautiful moment to capture in this haiku!! Well done Hannah!!
oh, wow, Hannah! This one produced a lot of rippling thoughts. very well done
Oof. I felt this one in my heart. Wonderfully done.
Keeping spirits up but struggling; I can sense the optimism pushing through the haze 🥰
Can’t say I hate living in the country where I can breathe. Awesome Haiku
This is caught in a sharp place between optimism and cynicism and I love it 😁
Ugh. Reminds me of how the skies looked here when we got the smoke from the wildfires.
Gosh I felt this one. Sallow sickly - fantastic word combination. This was excellent. Hope you’re ok Hannah. Was just thinking about you this morning actually and hoping you’d be writing something new.
We promise ourselves things with get better. Interesting Sky-ku.
Boy does this Haiku put the Sky-ku Challenge into perspective, Hannah! Very sobering indeed!
Excellent poem & great image… it would be hideous to have to live there!
Nice to see something new from you! felt this sombre piece!
I agree with Andrea. We need better air quality. It's terrible when the haze that originates in the peatlands in Indonesia hits Singapore.
Potent verse. If only we could change everything around us and everyone began fighting for better air quality and a safer environment. If only.
Wonderful haiku! 💥
Really need some blue skies somewhere, they better not all be gray. deep delusions of blueness. Well said.
So that's being positive or being delusional? Lol. Loved your Haiku!
