Roadside beggar

                                                                        A wayside beggar
                                                                pain and misery his companion
                                                                         help him a lot.







                                                                       Don't be smart,
                                                                 you can see, you can walk
                                                                        pretend for a living.





                                                                         Suffering soul,
                                                                 open sky his only shelter
                                                                          chilly winds .

  2. I especially like the second haiku because I'm not entirely sure what it's saying, even though the words aren't at all obscure. And I tend to quite enjoy not knowing :)

    1. Thank you Sue. It is about a person pretending to be a beggar.
