Bend or Break

This is about flexibility.

 

 

 The swaying tree thinks –

““Will I survive this cruel storm?”

 

…Only if it bends.

I love the brevity of this piece and its effective personification of the tree...very atmospheric! Also, the space between lines two and three does well to mimic the movement of the tree bending low and gives the question in line two room to breathe.

SO we know for a fact that this tree will most likely survive if it is not an oak and prehaps more like a willow
This was fun
and very true
The font and coloring made it!! Good luck in the contest. Cheers, lea

I really liked this analogy. Very well done!

I like how you show the only way to survive is the ability to bend with what comes your way. This is almost a life lesson, the willining next to bend or give way to things we can't change. Very lovely. Thank you for entering the Haiku Contest. I am excited for everyone. Here's to Haiku's
