HAIKU SUBMISSIONS

A haiku in English is a very short poem in the English language, following to a greater or lesser extent the form and style of the Japanese haiku. A typical haiku is a three-line quirky observation about a fleeting moment involving nature. Source: Wikipedia

What drives men to strive?
To race South against all odds
One to win…or lose

Waiting by the tent
Far South in a hostile place
Waiting for you Scott

I'm going outside
Into the cold white silence
I will sleep forever

Canvas ripped in screaming wind

Amidst white desolation
Hearts sink in dismay
