Pavement and white lines,
Through mountains; into prairies.
The road to Kansas
Leaving the heartland
With overwhelming sadness.
My road towards home.
The road less traveled;
Upon the wings of angels.
May God bless your soul.

This Haiku is dedicated to the memory of my brother-in-law, Larry Magill.
The basics:
Haiku is simple!
It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively
(a great way to use your fingers!)

beautiful! i tried to get kind of serious on mine, but my inspiration just wasn't there this week.
I love the photos, too.
Take care.
These are lovely. I wish I had this kind of creative writing skills. I'm much too verbose.
I'm sorry about Larry, I've been praying this wouldn't be drawn out and put a lot of pressure on your sister's family.
Beautiful! Great way to start the day!
I'm so sorry about Larry, Polly. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Beautiful haiku - a wonderful tribute.
So lovely, as always! Especially the one dedicated to Larry. You all have been in my prayers. I hope your family is doing okay.
I always thought the road was yellow brick....

Tired of cleaning up puke
Mommy needs a break
Hows that for my haiku? I only had a few hours of sleep, so if it's not the right amount of syllables, sorry.
Beautiful, Polly! (Especially since Kansas is the road home for me, too)
You manage to make so few syllables so moving. Great job!
Thank you also for sharing your story on my blog yesterday and helping me feel less alone. I appreciate it more than you know.
Love your Wednsday Haikus as usual!
And this is great!

Big Hugs to you and your sister's family in this difficult time. I am glad that it didn't take long for everybody's sake.

Great as always! And if you're headed to Kansas, why not drive a bit further and drop by for coffee in Nebraska? ;)
These were very touching, and I think, your most heartfelt yet.
I don't usually use the word "beautiful" to describe a haiku, but yours today are...beautiful!
