wrecking ball
swings swiftly to shatter old zoo —
crane’s heart caves-in

Author Notes
WRECKING BALL = a heavy metal ball swung on a cable from a CRANE and used in demolition work.
CRANES are long-legged, and long-necked birds similar-looking but unrelated herons. Cranes are affected by human activities and are critically endangered. click here if you want to know more
CAVE-IN = To give up what you want to do what another person desires; to collapse; submission to something or someone previously opposed or resisted
This is a modern haiku because I use metaphor and alliteration.
MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but as brief as possible. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Haiku usually doesn't have a title but in fanstory we have to have one. The Haiku Foundation of America
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
