Haiku 10-14-08-Trust Me
© 2008
Dan Johnson

“Trust only me,” said
The shade tree to the young grass,
“Too much sun, you’re dead.”

“Stay in the shade, it’s safe,
Drink in the morning dewdrops,
Grow a greenish sheen.”

“Safe, warm, comforted,
In my outstretched arms of love,
Trust on one, trust me.”

Dan Johnson

to find linked Haiku, good good Haiku, is rare indeed -makes me want to Renga or Tango or Foxtrot or something! Fine work Dan, thank you xx 'Stay in the shade, safe' (you could drop "it's"?:o)

And then the mad cow came an eat the juicy grass that believed the tree when it said "trust me"....where we heard that before?
A poem très magnifique!

I believe there is much more to this haiku than tree and grass... and even if it is not what an endearing picture painted here, my friend... nicely done!

Smiles and hugs,

Wow, Dan, this is an excellent haiku. But I get nervous when I hear those words: Trust me. Especially when politicians say them!! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
