lovely life options haiku ~ we all have choices ~ carol
This is a poignant, but powerful haiku. I like it very much. A dash of reality!

Such an emotional impact in a few words.

Sad – yes but powerful and unexpected take on the prompt.
Beggars have so few options in our world…
On another note, I was told years ago that Rembrandt often painted himself into his work; the beggar certainly looks familiar…
Scarecrow
Wow! Strong… wonderful….This moved me greatly!
so much conveyed in so few words…and a minimalist image,,,,
Oh…sad indeed. Great take…brudberg!
Beautiful haiku Bjorn, maybe the beggar is better of as a scarecrow … no I think not 🙂
