Analysis of Early Haiku (4)



Raincoats and rubbers
                                      Visages of the old days
                                       Made me smile at me

How you feel each day
                                 Controls your thought and body
                                            Be aware of this

Going round and round
                                       Helps a dog to find it's spot
                                              Is not productive

Beautiful blue skies
                                       Reflect around the whole earth
                                         Please give them their due

Nature is our friend
                                       Be kind to her treat her right
                                             She'll be good to you

Donald Loudon

I started to write because of the great feeling of release, and being able to do something of my own that I enjoyed. Since then, writing has become a way of life for me, and I enjoy it thoroughly. I write about things I feel strongly and or know a lot about. more…
