image of ocean and sky with the words of the haiga overlaid on the sky

when caught
how to release
resentment?
as wind disperses water
as water erodes stone

    Very nice!

    For me, the repetition of "water" is itself like an act of erosion. The parallel structure of the last two lines reminds me of Psalms.

    yes, how to release resentment, once it it caught…like the commom cold, it makes us feel terrible…
    the answer is intriguing: as wind disperses water, not as water itself, but as droplets, vapour, …but slow enough, not like rainfall, like the slow erosion of stone, smoothened out …
    wonderful and philosophical

    Very poetic and philosophical!

    a lone myna
    high in the sky
    the kite
    descends on its weight
    holding the silent wind

    I scream
    in the vacuum of loneliness
    and talk to myself
    reading the pages of remembrance
    with a request wind to reply my voice

    Thank you all for your thoughtful reading and responses to my haiga. Standing on the shore of Lake Superior (where I took this photo) is like standing before Jung?s Collective Unconscious. It is a place of fathomless depth and expanse, where Psalm and philosophy intertwine with symbol and spirit to beget great questions, answers and meaning. . .

    I guess the first step is knowing that you've caught it. Philosophical haiku.
