Haiku Hell

Traveling through Hell
In a bubble of heaven
Past purgatory

Author's Note

I've been accused of traveling through Hell in my little bubble of heaven. I said I resemble that remark.

This one makes the reader think. I like this, it's excellent writing.

I had no idea what the true Japanese forms were about. Glad I got you thinking about heaven and hell. Traveling in bubbles.

You're welcome! My Joice is Heaven.

Cleaver, I liked it, and had to read it twice for the visuals to sink in.

Thanks. Suddenly I got a dose of memory about...there was an elevator called the 'bubbleator' that was part of our World's Fair here in Seattle in '62. Room enough for everyone here in the cafe! We'll have to stop in purgatory to pick them up.

LOL! Durn computer, Laugh Out Loud!

As long as you're in your bubble of heaven, you are safe from purgatory and hell; just hope it doesn't burst.... an interesting senryu....
Best, Betty

Now that I've been educated 'bout haiku....I decided not to edit this one. Should Heaven and Hell exist they would be natural. Super-natural. And they are seasons aren't they?

Well my opinion is that this hell with an essence of heaven and floating in its bubble is what it feels like when love and life is good then something busts it! Very good writing

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks. When I've been accused if this I think they were referring to my positive attitude despite circumstances that make others miserable. But the good attitude comes from love and life. Good catch!

Wow, Sometimes I think we are living in hell before we get to Heaven

[William Michael Reeves]

Gotta go through a little to get there. Right, right.

and those in purgatory are shouting and banging on our windows, wondering when they are going to get picked up and brought the rest of the way.
