The way I see Things

heroes, heroines, villains and clowns
sporting masks of smiles and frowns
changing in and out roles
of characters inherited, or stole
curtain calls that drop appear off script
of some plots that have no drift
endless rehearsals ever after
lines we try master but get no dafter
building audiences over years
showcasing our talents and our fears
moving cities with our show
adding to the aisle a few more rows
living this karmic drama each day
with some more lines to act and say
In awe I think of this master creator
who built this world - the live theater

Life is a one act impromptu play most of the time. Do we get a chance to re-perform the major twists and turns? Or are we as good as our audience are? And do we perform the same script that many around us do? or do we really do what our heart says to do?

I stopped by your blog to a trail of posts from different blogs. interesting Haiku style of narration.

Hi there

The haiku is a three line poem that goes by the structure

5-6-5 or 5-7-5 syllables. they dont rhyme.

I am aware of that, i was jus trying to relate the usage of certain phrases that reminded of that style.

one that real struck from your writing was "nameless attachemts".

there is a lot of meaning in it when they are juxtapositioned together :)
