Lone tree

Torrential monsoon
Young tree shivers all alone
Survives in the morn

      Thank you Tarun. I find the best way to write Haiku is to follow the rules. And hopefully it works out well.

      Dear Barbara,
      The shivering tree - a sign of weakness? Or resolve?
      Thank you for dropping by.

    Trees bend to survive, shivering all the while. Lovely poem!

      Oh yes, there is much to learn from the willow that bends.

    Ninot Ma'am,
    That's the resolve of a lone child. The will to survive all by himself!

      Hi MamaTim,
      Talking about your garden, I am sure. How is your DSLR?

      yep, my adolescent chilli plants! U asking, errr... my D40 U mean? I'm supposed to polish some basic(!) skills> follow a group of friends when they go photo-shooting, but never getting the chance. Always something else on, especially now during this long school break. Also re-opening an online store (I had an approx 10mth break from this sales business and now 2 of my cousins have joined me in sourcing some materials for the online store Alhamdulillah)- well this too has claimed more of my time though I've always meant to do it just casually.. SO! inilah mamaTim. My Lalliiing always telling me 'semua nak buat!' LOL

    The young tree survived through the torturing monsoon and grew up stronger.
