The odd man who’s spent

His whole life burdened and bent

Asks where the sky went

    ‘Burdened and bent… asking where the sky went’ such a profound haiku, that man only needed to look up. This was a beautiful call for action, while still being sensitive.

  • Whoaaaa, that hit me so hard. Loved your Haiku!
