In its tiny feet
The sparrow held a
paintbrush
To paint its future
Intent on the
thought
It flew over the
vast sky
Enthralling the
world

ReplyDeleteThank you, Namy :)
DeleteHave you thought of combining your visuals with the paintings and posting on Instagram?
ReplyDeleteI did, but I do have plans of compiling another ebook. It would be too much work to delete the posts later on so I let it be. :)
DeleteLoved this "Haiku". Such beautiful lines and a loving creature-Sparrow! Awesome combination.
