Inspired by the theme at
Well ... this is it ... the kick-off of a new Haiku Heights Challenge. Let's go and have some fun with writing haiku inspired on given prompts.
Another new September Heights Challenge to write an every day haiku on a given theme. I loved doing this last April and I hope this new September Heights will be again a joy to participate in.
Let's go starting the haiku engines (smiles).
Today the prompt given is drawbridge. I think I can write some nice haiku with this one. So ... let's get on with it.
As you know I am living in The Netherlands. We, the Dutch people, have a long history in conquering the waters, but we are also known for our skills in bridge building. In our lovely capital, Amsterdam, we have some well known drawbridges e.g. "De Magere Brug" or "The Skinny Bridge".

Hm ... not a strong one I think, but that's not up to me to decide ... you my visitors can say what you think about it.
See you tomorrow,

An excellent use of the word Drawbridge to capture an emotional slice of time

Someone is Special
I think it would be easy to lose one's heart to this beauty! :)
Drawbridge
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I googles bridges in the Netherlands...wow, such variety and engineering feats! Did you lose your heart to the skinny 'bridge'? (smile)
This was a tough prompt for me. I think you did a nice job with it. Very good!
I can't think of a better place to lose your heart than a bridge in Amsterdam. Lovely.
Romance is in the air ... and an intriguing spot for it to blossom. I visited many many years ago -- it left an impression of delight. Thank you for your visit.
I love the way you took us on your walk and memory with you. And only in a few words! Fabulous
How wonderful! I love the two aspects of your haiku set. And I love Amsterdam, too :-) [I wish I'd be able to go back there again.]
Best, MK
May the skinny bridge make your heart stout now that you lost your heart to her.
I love that you have a real drawbridge for your inspiration. We dont' see many at all around my part of the world.
