A Mountain - Haiku x3

My soul's made of stone
From triumph to tragedy 
A mountain has grown 

This stature my own 
Forever building higher
Til peaks fashion thrones 

The angels have flown 
To wherever, without doubt 
Mountains stand alone

I agree with John, the rhyming makes these very much your own style, and of a piece.

I admire how you bring all three Haiku together. The rhyming is also very refreshing in this form. A strong piece. Thankyou for sharing these with us. *applaud*

Regards,
John.

my soul's made of popcorn. mmm, popcorn. of course, there's not much left (hey, i got hungry....) guess i would've loved the permanence of a mountain, but it wouldn't have tasted half as good.

I love Haiku, these seem to speak of triumph over adversity, much enjoyed.

Great effort. I struggle to write 1 Haiku. The message was very poignant too. Enjoyed the read.
