Written for The Haiku Challenge 2012 - Day 26 – February 26th – Theme: Paint the Image
Inspirational Image from: Google Images, Author: Unknown
This is a very touching photo, so full of pain and misery, but also full of love. As I see it ... this young boy has to take care for his younger brother or sister. They have no place to go. Maybe they have lost their parents through hunger or war. So they live on the streets and their home is a stairs. How to write a haiku to paint this image? This is a tough one I think.
near starvation
living on the streets of the world
brotherly love
living on the streets of the world
brotherly love
brotherly love
stronger than ever now they are alone -
like swans
stronger than ever now they are alone -
like swans

| Like swans a lifetime together |
like swans
a lifetime struggling together
against hunger
a lifetime struggling together
against hunger
Well ... see you again tomorrow for another Haiku Challenge Day.
