I couldn't help but laugh at this one Gsy, how ironic we don't quite think of the result of pollution, the affect it can have on the very sources of clean air...tress, great haiku, with incumbent so tori, well done, blessings, Roy

That is pretty good my friend, you have me feeling sorry for the poor pale tree who has to stand there night and day at the mercy of all those killing fumes. Nice!

Hola Guapa. Como estas? Aqui estamos cogiendo cerezas desde las siete por la manana hasta la una y despues a venderlas. Volviendo a casa haciendo la comida. Estoy cansadisima.
Your haiku is beautiful. It just describes the stifling heat that suffocates everything. I love it. Beautiful descriptive words that paints the picture. Un abrazo de tu amiga Ulla:)))

Hi Gypsy,

You sure do write some interesting poems. This one was very nice too.
My main thing is writing poetry too, but some of mine are short and some a little longer.

Kat

Hi, gypsy;
-this is a sad expression of how polluted our world is at times as even the trees are suffocating and asphyxiated by the fumes of our motorcars.
-Very well constructed with grammatically and dramatically connected lines and a satori that efficiently expresses the spontaneity of excitement, and aha moment and especially summarizes the effectiveness of the conceptual theme.
-Thank you for sharing and take care and have a good one.
Alex

Oh Gypsy, such imagery. I can see and feel the trees choking on the traffic fumes just as I do.

Excellent write!

MariVal,
I smell the exhaust fumes! Your haiku is spot-on with syllabic counts of 5 7 5 and a total of 17. Your total word count is 10, and your lines are three. I like the juxtapotaoe of asphyxiated. Humans fare less well than the trees. Well done, Lady Blue.

Michael

Hi Gypsy; your 5-7-5 haiku tells the tale of a tree struggling to survive in the world next to a busy street. The smog and emissions from the cars choke it, and the sidewalk chokes its roots. The presentation of the piece is enhanced by the artwork you've chosen and the nature aspect of the piece comes through. Thank you for sharing this well penned piece,
~patty~

Yes, yes, yes, Gypsy. Your haiku is the truth. Some trees are asphyxiated inhaling traffic fumes. Have you looked at the leaves of some of the trees in the city? They are covered with soot. It's a wonder they could live. They are certainly not thriving. Your haiku paints a stark picture about what man's pollution is doing to nature. Your satori is perfect.

The only SPAG is that you capitalized inhale.

Thank you very much for sharing and for caring.
