Haiku My Heart Friday



We never go in,
(the water, dark) without risk
the tentacles hurt


For more Haiku My Heart, go to recuerda mi corazon.

    Owie - ouchie! Your haiku is a good warning!

    Yes, some creatures don't particularly like when human descend into their homes....even if the humans mean no harm. Heal quickly from that sting!

    My first reaction: "OUCH!"

    Then cold shivers.

    Then, "STINGRAY!"

    Then I realized it was a jellyfish sting.

    More cold shivers.

    In general, a chilling haiku. In the grand Hitchcock tradition.

    Leap without looking
    Follow your heart's true desire
    Damn consequences!

    Lovely haiku, horrible sting! I still recall my first visit to the ocean because I got a jellyfish sting. (Thanks for the follow.) Love & Blessings!

    Owww...

    Life itself is a risk. Good poetic reminder.

    Heal quickly!

    Only a true artist would think haiku at a time like this.

    All -- thanks for your comments and sympathies! I should clarify that the photo is of my son Henry's foot from our vacation recently in South Carolina. He is quite proud of his jellyfish scars!
