This poem reminds me of a quote from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird: “Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.” I think what too many people don't understand about art is that it isn't a luxury: the interpretation and re-imagining of reality, the creative response to it, is as natural and necessary to the civilised human mind as anything.

Simple communication is art. But anyway, my disorganised, dime-store philosophising aside, this is a lovely little poem, Ahavati. I wouldn't describe it as haiku, personally, because it uses a metaphor, but it has the same fierce and captivating quality as a lot of the best haiku.

Indeed, Jack. Even if one does not create one must enjoy something of the beauty it provides in order to appreciate life, be it visual, musical, or the written word.

That's exactly why I didn't entitle it one. My instinct was like, "No." Honestly, because of the metaphor, I wasn't certain what it was...maybe it just is without a label. That's always nice.    
   
Thank you, as always, for your keen eye. It truly helps me.

This write succinctly reminds me that the production of a poem isn't static and incorporates much more then a writing device.

....this could be a tattoo! :) LOve it!!
