Worlds apart we stand
Unchartered lands; draw new maps
Look for higher ground.
This Haiku was written for One Deep Breath. This week's challenge is to write a poem about design using the Fibonacci sequence of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 syllables:
Break
all
current
boundaries,
circumvent borders.
Carve new world of peaceful prospects.

Hi, I'm new to your blog - I hopped over from Lotus reads.
Like the photo. Like the entry. Was also reminded of the one posted on a local (Malaysian) blog managed by Sharon Bakar. Here's the link to her post and some of the entries there:

I hope you enjoy reading the entries there.

I am too unpoetic to ever attempt a haiku but I sure do like yours. Great photo too!

Your fib is very good. Gave me a little shiver.

Nicely done! And thanks for your kind words about my blog. :-)

so good! the photo is a perfect choice for your message.

Your photo works perfectly for the first poem. And the second one is interesting too. I've never read a poem in Fibonacci sequence--yes, very cool. I'm usually afraid of using strict poetic form--but you make me want to experiment.

I loved the message Tara! Great job on your fib and finding that photo. They all just melded beautifully.

Lovely - both the haiku and the image. Hmm, the Fibonacci sequence, eh? Could this be a code, perchance? (lol)

you are a writing machine... an artistic one... I can NOT believe how much you are able to put into print... thank you again for the very hopeful haiku !
Posted by: diana | 26 June 2006 at 20:28
I love these, so evocative of far off lands and dreams for me...
Posted by: susannah | 26 June 2006 at 20:12
succinct and thoughtful. very nice.
Posted by: ally bean | 26 June 2006 at 19:38
That's wonderful - both the poem itself and the sentiment expressed.
(Plus, in keeping with last week's Poetry Thursday theme, I really like the word "circumvent!")

You make it look so easy! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Reading all the haiku participants had my brain clicking 5-7-5 so I decided to give it a try. It really did flex some muscle because I couldn't just type what first came out ... I had to play by the rules! I'm going to keep practicing. Now I'm off to read your Sunday Scribble!
Posted by: HoBess | 26 June 2006 at 19:19
Peaceful prospects...the way it sounds is perfect. You're good at those haikus!

I'm convinced you are equal to all of these challenges. Perfect rendition.
