A cool fresh wind blows
Its careless breath breaks a tree
Nothing is perfect

What a great idea for a Haiku! All the style and solemnity of the genre rounded off with a brilliant almost throw away line. The humour is refreshing but the careless breath image remains very strong. Everything about this fabulous Haiku is well balanced.

Almost a tenet by which to live life!

I loved this. Each word perfect. Love, Maria.

Thank you all for your generosity. By the way Maria, only the last word was 'perfect.' ;-)

When I originally read this, I imagined one of the trees in the forest behind my house; but reading again, I was reminded of the bonsai tree I fussed over (with catastrophic results).

I liked the as-a-matter-of-fact humour and brevity of this. Thanks,

Woz

Thanks Woz. I have also had catastrophic results with bonsai trees, but seem to have at last had success with a couple. If only I could do the same with a precious relationship which is going through a bad patch at the moment.
Take care,
Steve.

Isn't it strange that two people have seen humour in this poem, although none was intended?
Woz, you are so lucky to have a forest behind your house.

Perhaps Steve, it is because there are circumstances, but also responses. I'll be thinking of you while I go a'rambling in the woods today.
