What Lies Beyond
The pier’s end
Like a man’s future
Can’t be seen.
——————–
Up And Down
A yoyo –
Worker changing old
Gas price signs.

I specially like the first one, and it goes so well with the picture.
Beyond the
Peer’s end waits son, the
Fourteenth earl.
Glad you did. I hope it goes well with the picture because I wrote the haiku ABOUT the picture. 🙂 I’ve started doing that more often and many of my haiku will now probably come from a picture that triggers the words.
I like both of them too. Can’t pick a favorite.
I’ve thought that it must be a tedious repetitive part of a “quick stop” worker’s job to have to keep changing the gas price signs.
Yes, but at least now days they don’t have to climb ladders to do it. They have those long poles with pinchers on the ends to grab the letters and put them up and take them down. I guess it’s called “progress.”
Yes, it’s easier; it’s progress. Let’s hope the progress on the prices is steady and down, down, down.
Especially love the first one, Dennis!
Thanks!
