I 'm a dreaming moth

Circling around your Glow-

Love's wind moves my wings

    At first glance the haiku seems an easy form, short and sweet, but I find so many haikus to be devoid of any real feeling. This little gem is a perfect metaphor of love! Drawn as the moth to a flame, surely to get burned when loves wind abates. Well written!

    Hello,

    great imagery and metaphor. Why do moths burn themselves repeatedly trying to reach the light that burns? It is rather like trying to find that perfect love and constantly getting burnt in the process of searching for the holy grail. The truth is Love of another is enough when you love yourself enough.

    Well done,

    Take care,

    Michael

    Koan - this is a brilliantly clever little write. It says so much in so little room; really imaginative and creative. Well done indeed.

    Holy cow.... And if the moth gets too close to the glowing lamp... It can get burn.

    Enjoyed the haiku.
