Souls met across time
Bonded by their destiny
Love follows its fate

Written for the weekend Trifecta Challenge: This weekend’s prompt comes from Hello, Cheney, whose lapse in memory was a
happy accident for us. This weekend we’re asking you to harken back to your
grade school days and write a haiku. No word restrictions, just stick to the
structure as defined below. And check out Cheney’s turkey post
for an example.
: an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines
containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively
polysyllabic profundities

🙂 thanks
so romantic
You accomplished a lot in a small piece. well done.
Thanks Lance!
Lovely. Thanks for linking up!
Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Reminds me of how Pullman’s Dark Materials trilogy ends, with the two young lovers sitting on the same park bench, at the same moment, albeit in different dimensions of time. I have always been touched by that ending. Loved your haiku.
P.S. sorry for babbling like an idiot last weekend in my comment. I have come to be aware that it wasn’t your son reading your bedtime poem. I still really liked your poem and am still glad that it was used in such a wonderful way. I’ll stop talking now. 🙂
Thank you so much. And I love your babbling, so feel free anytime. 🙂
Nice!
Is love a matter of fate?
I like to think it is. 🙂
What a huge story to tell in so short a space – lovely.
Thank you so much.
Is it not odd, post
reading a Zen Haiku, we
write so many words?
Is Highest praise not
shown by reflecting the words
like ripples in pond?
The Heart smiles, gives thanks
for reminding self of things
we already know.
😉
I like the last line. I hadn’t thought of love following it’s fate, but maybe it does…
