weary soul, yours,
friends none, but one, who?
‘ hope ‘, who else!

‘ hope ‘, who else,
can revive thee,
from ashes

from ashes,
riseth the phoenix, ‘ hope ‘,
she stands for

i felt, the irony of this set is that all 3 haiku can be read separately and also as sequential flow. hope.

‘ hope ‘, my life would be nothing without it. Hope is one fuel i am running my life on. machine.
‘ Phoenix ‘ has a special place in my heart as i always try to gain strength from the weighted fact that one can never rise up again, unless he has hope, no matter what. I relate it to the mythical Phoenix bird. And the catalogue of my photography, drawings and digital art pieces is called “Phoenix ARTS” 🙂
Special.
And yes, the first line has 4 syllables and doesn’t follow the 3-5-3 structure. I seriously wanted to put the word ‘ your ‘ 😀 🙂
Suggestions and corrections are most welcome, I’m still learning Haiku.
