A Tribute



Photo Credits:  Courtesy of Jinsky's Tandem


Striving harder

The day droops listless
Frantically grabbing at
The straw, a lifeline

Must strive, must get it
Where there is life there is hope
Grab it, try again

Others have done it
And there is no telling but
Always looking up

Submitted haiku styled for:
Mary's tribute  to Hollywood's great Michael J Fox and his inspiring book  'Always Looking Up'  at Mary's Poetry Jam
Submitted for
Jinsky's Tandem #7 allowing us to choose one of her photo images above

  5. I agree with Jinksy. You've adapted the style very well. It didn't even strike me at first that this was Haiku. Well done.
