Haiku Heights Prompt: Meaning

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

superstitious boy
hops across cracks in sidewalks
each leap meaning love

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Ah.. atleast those cracks are small 🙂 Here, we jump over one and land straight into the other 😛

    I hope the love in his heart and leap stays with him safely 🙂 Thanks for all the beautiful haiku over the last year, Susan. Hope to see you more over the next year at HH too.

    We often see different expressions of love being shown. Jumping along the sidewalk is fun anyway! Nice haiku, Susan!

    You make it seem so easy to put these out..it meant something back then and still should, as you remind us..
