Hunting for success

Lives spent pursuing shadows

Only ghosts remain

    A very perceptive haiku for all those politicians out there at the moment and many of these gone before. You are really stirring my political consciousness with haiku Sue.

    We are all chasing shadows, Anita wonders if the shadows are in fact, chasing us…

    This is so powerful, Sue. The photo and the tanka together form a strong emotional visual.

    Wonderful poem, Sue. Perhaps we are the ghosts that remain after a life of chasing success. 💕🤗💕
