Walking the Mudflats
by
Pat Boran

Walking the mudflats,
I pass a stranger. We nod.
And leave it at that.

Something about the acknowledgement of the 'other' powers this poem. Yes, brevity, haiku or not, brings power.

Haiku is such a powerful form. Such a huge, potent image said in just 17 syllables. Thank you, Jayne, this was an excellent choice!
