With my walking stick
I whack evening’s deadly fence—
seven stars fall free.

    So beautiful! I love how those of us who participate in Friday’s Fences capture them everywhere.

    often, your photos bring questions to my mind. so the fence denotes private land?
    both your image and phrase of whacking almost makes me cringe! (because of the barbed wire)

    So much said, so few words used. I would whack that fence too if it made stars fall through the sky. Thank you for the heads up earlier. I linked up.

    I really have no idea what you’re talking about.
    But it’s cool, and surreal.
    Cheers!

      Fully half the time I have no idea what I’m talking about either, but I’m having fun with language—and I take heart from Archibald MacLeish’s wise observation that “a poem should not mean but be.” 🙂

      hey me neither hahaha but whatever image the haiku conjured in my mind, it’s lovely… beautiful words… “a poem should not mean but be.” yes… and of course the beauty in this is that the words mean a lot of different things to different individuals 🙂

    Surely! Evening has no right building a fence around stars, I welcome their free fall.

    That create a story inside my mind. But barb wired fences can be a menace 🙂

    I am a fan of your use of language…in this poem and in the way you said:
    Fully half the time…

    Beautiful photo. It emphasises the loneliness of the desert.
