Arid 26

Throat is Parched
Endless summer , 26 dry years.
How thirsty is the sea?




Tony Downing's (Haiku )

The parchment of throat
A twenty-six year summer
How thirsty the sea?

That's called Midas Touch. Tony is a gem.

I like this… the last line makes it for me. If it wasn't intended to be haiku, where’s the problem? What you have is a minimalist poem, of sorts, + some for those who contemplate beyond it. :) ~T

yea thankx for reminding me, This is not a haiku...I did not know much about Haiku. Thought a twist in the third line would do the trick. But Haiku has fixed syllable patterns I learned. Thanks Phil..Sorry for the folly I committed :)
