Of human failures
miseries and sufferings
that wrought pain for all
Of human conflicts
destruction of societies
built over the years
Bridging the divide
is a great challenge to test
the human resolve
Written for Leo's Haiku Heights #247 with prompt - bridge
Wonderfully philosophical
ReplyDeletehey i am all for building those bridges....rising up out of the conflict and connecting...smiles.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Profound haiku
ReplyDeleteYeah too bad those bridges can stay built and instead keep getting torn down and rebuilt
ReplyDeleteThe great divide...hmmmmm we need to build all those bridges to fill in the gaps!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely profound...if only.
ReplyDeletebridges are such great images for the message you bring across
ReplyDeleteNice, I really liked the pic you chose to go with haiku..bridges are symbolic in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the old bridge goes well with the old problem described in your haiku.
ReplyDeleteBut, as farming communities grew, so , did industry and development.
ReplyDeleteThe same is valid for a two-story house in Ottawa.

All three haiku - such a wonderful trio that in itself connects one to another in a poetic bridge.
