I like this one. Deep, as is, hopefully, the bottle of life.
Never give up! Keep the faith. So true! Love how you expressed that using the symbol of a bottle with the fragility of faith inside. ❤
Wow! This is a brilliant haiku. It has an ancient proverb vibe. Love it!
Thanks Vashti – Ronavan’s prompts always challenge me to look for fresh angles.
Very powerful Clarence, humorous in one vein yet very perceptive of the fragility of human nature in another.
Love it, Love it, Love it……humor, human nature, and all. This haiku in particularly appeals to me because of the alcohol angle and the humor. At the same time it conveys the emptiness and and actual hopelessness of an alcohol who places all hope in a bottle. I know. Thank you for an amazing poem. ~~dru~~
