The ribbons of thought,
Twining into ideas,
Now become actions.

© Raymond G., Phoenix, AZ

The author's comments:
I got this poem from the thought of how thoughts twist like ribbons and then braid into ideas, and ideas become actions.

Complex without seeming so, because of how it all ties together so simply!

I agree...most haikus dont seem to have a message, or train of thought, but this does!

It is so hard to write haikus! And even harder to write haikus that make sense! Haha (I am NOT a very good haiku writer) really great. :) Keep it up!
