Fledgling wings flapping,
heart in mouth - solo flight show
mother's eyes shine- proud
************************************************
Pride unites townsfolk,
pride weaves a dangerous web,
pride fells mighty oaks.

A soaring haiku full of beautiful pride.
ReplyDeleteThank you TWG:)
DeletePride can change a lot of things ... the 2nd one is so true !!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a very powerful emotion that can be grossly misused
DeleteThe one about the birds especially speaks to me as birds who don't make it on their first flight sometimes die in the attempt. So pride is also relief--usually something worthy of being proud of creates some risk.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed, the most satisfying feeling the mother gets once her young ones learn to be independent. Thank you for the visit.
DeleteNice set! I especially like the first one--speaks to parents in general, I think :)
ReplyDeleteThank you WC, yes all parents are happiest when their children stand firm on their own feet. The pride in their hearts is something I wished to capture in the Haiku.
Deletebeautiful set, Reshma, Both of them. First one I can so much relate to as a mother and second one is so true.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meenakshi, glad you liked them:)
DeleteBoth of your haiku carry crucial messages... Love them!

Your appreciation means a lot Eliz, thank you :)
DeleteTwo contrasting haikus.. one is full of soul, the other full of depth..
ReplyDeleteloved them equally.
Thank you for the kind appreciation Deepak :)
DeleteDevilish me: I wonder if animals can really be proud of their offspring, or do we humans just attribute pride to them?
ReplyDeleteNo Pride of Lions
Fair enough Teacher. We humans assume we are all-knowing and in that sense of false-pride we wax eloquent on nature...
