Haiku--By Ron Moss--Australia

riding high
on dad’s shoulders
I touched the moon
_______________

dying nettlefold
the hardness of veins
in my father's hands
_______________

memorial day
a place the wind blows
beyond the light
_______________

    lovely haiku - 'a place the wind blows, beyond the light'. Evocative. I see you're an artist as well. Have you done any haiga?

    Hi Ron. Love the haiku, especially the first one. I remember when I was with my father as a kid, I felt I could conquer the world. Nice work. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!
