Growing Wings To Fly

Image Source: Google

Broken yet alive
In this heartless world I am
Growing wings to fly

Growing wings to fly
Slowly I shall learn to soar
High above the sky

High above the sky
I shall watch the world beneath
Fighting to survive

Written for Haiku Horizons: Prompt - Fly.

      Thank you Anu! It is a bit hard I agree, but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier!

      Go ahead and fly! At times you do not need wings for it! :)

      Thank you KP! This format is called Haiku. With the first line having 5 syllables, the second line 7 and the third like 5 syllables. A collection of them is called a Haiga. The one above is a collection of Haikus.

    Very inspiring Haiku. In spite of broken wings how sweetly the birdie hopes to fly higher and higher.

    The sense of freedom that your words have brought in this post is very scintillating. I could almost feel the urge to fly away, without a care.
