Tell me, Sister Crow,
what do fence posts know of hope
or barbed wire of joy?

    The crow would know the answer. Do they speak it to us as they caw caw caw inn the mornings? I’ll pay more attention and get back to you.

    I like this photo a lot, and the haiku is divine!

    Much Peace

    the fence post gave hope to the barbed wire to chain or coil itself and serve its purpose and this gave the barbed wire sheer joy….

    Ah, I wouldn’t think fence posts would like barbed wire any more than the crows would! I really like the visual.

    Really like the perspective. Barbed wire converted into a work of art.

    Bastard of a job:)

    Married these two, in a twisted way, one obsolete without the other… Sister crow knows… she sits atop the post and picks at the twisted iron knots…

    Very unique haiku and I really like the picture. It leads to other thoughts of course, What do we really know of another’s hope – inanimate or otherwise?

    Love your photo. Your a very talented photographer. I have always found barbed wire hard to capture.

    Indeed. They about as much about that as they do about the love that carries both along with it.

    A crow might know but
    I’m not a crow. They are gone.
