Fun poem, and very nice use of hay(na)ku.
ReplyDeleteSuch a delightful read :D and a wonderful form.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful form I shall have to try it. I worked in the architectural and building field but never thought it poetry material!
ReplyDeleteThe form creates such a pretty visual...
ReplyDeleteHave to have the proper budget or things can sure get hairy along the way
ReplyDeleteWith spouse's input - or direction!
ReplyDeleteSeems that all projects end up with cost over-runs! Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe photo only highlights the emptiness of some of the things we strive for...and how empty they can make us feel - a thoughtful and thought provoking poem Hank
ReplyDeleteha...reality of purpose is the main thing....nice form...
ReplyDeleteI think dreaming is much less expensive... maybe it's worth waiting.... though
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. I love the photo of your lounge and the description of decisions made "with spouse's input"......and not overrunning the finances (something I am always in danger of, LOL. I enjoyed this, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this form as you espoused thoughts from the profound to the practical.
ReplyDeleteSolid poem with much to day that accentuates the staged perfection of the photo. So many live lives that are that empty perfection.
ReplyDeleteHank, you made me smile today--I like this form quite a bit--and love what you did with it
ReplyDeleteHank, this was interesting and each fit nicely together. I think the journey always has unexpected costs so one should weigh all options. Not everything is picture perfect.
ReplyDeleteI loved the theme here: developed by consensus - what a concept! Ha! Enjoyed being introduced to this form - the perfect vehicle for your poem.
ReplyDeleteI'd struggle with this style, but you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a efficient project and the efforts were just enough, not overrun... Excellent on te form, love these diamonds very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid use of the form Hank .. and so wise too ... I take my hat off to your talent and thank you for linking up with B&P this week. Bastet
