Post-Mortem Servility (haiku)

O_o i ... guess I didn't see this one before

Nice piece. I like it. Wish it could go to the front page.

Oh well

I was once told that when you write a Haiku it should show rather then tell; and because it only has 3 lines what the writer sees he has somehow capture with lesser words with an impact.

Its the title that drew me to read it and more so under nature category...very interesting!

Already dead tree
provides a safe nesting site
for this cold vulture

^^Here I like the pairing of a dead tree and a vulture. Somehow the dead tree even though dead still stands strong. A vulture even though a scavenger and stands alone at times nicely pairs up with the dead tree.

The word cold shows the character of a vulture and in the same way the tree too stands alone and cold. I don't know if I make sense but the dead tree and the vulture go hand in had.

A rather dark write yet it holds a sadness only the crouching vulture and a dead tree knows..nicely penned.

Larry, wonderful write-so much packed into so few words-well done-

Larry, a breathtakingly good haiku that for some reason makes me thing of the scene on the lion king where simba is lying and the vultures see her whilst sitting on their tree then timone amd pumba come and save him.

Em

Sir Larry,

Nice Haiku Sir .. I can imagine the vulture sitting on the dead tree and ready to scavenge. ..
5/5
