Khalil Gibran wrote on wings
“How heedless you are when you would have men fly with your wings and you cannot even give them a feather”.
And for me:
still blinded
patient falcon waits –
cooing dove
He also said:
“Seven centuries ago seven white doves rose from a deep valley flying to the snow-white summit of the mountain. One of the seven men who watched the flight said, “I see a black spot on the wing of the seventh dove”. “Today the people in that valley tell of seven black doves who flew to the summit of the snowy mountain”
and indeed:
eagle’s cry –
seven lambs been killed
shepherd’s tale
Khalil also wrote:
“They say to me, “A bird in the hand is worth ten in the bush.” But I say, “A bird and a feather in the bush is worth more than ten birds in the hand.” Your seeking after that feather is life with winged feet; nay, it is life itself”
to which I respon:
your blisters –
tell me more about your road
than collected gems

Wonderful post Björn you have responded on all three ‘verses’ by Gibran, Just great!
Yes.. I think it was a model that I will try to do.. like a collaborative haibun 🙂
You did great i like how you are exploring new ways on haiku … chapeau!

Indeed – thank you 🙂
You did a great job here. I especially like the third one and agree with the comment above.
Really love how you’ve responded to this prompt. I cannot add anything new — so I’ll just say “bravo”!
You made it direct and related to the master. Great set Bjorn!

Blisters surely do tell more than gems..a whole new story. Very nicely done!
