Haiku prompted by the following quote:
[…] “We have lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life”. […] Paulo Coelho
These are separate…and in no particular order.
1.
illumination
of every street light and house
obscure the moonlight
2.
social networking
facebook friends and followers
don’t replace friendship
3.
live your own real life
there is no reality
on television
4.
don’t follow blindly
choose to see reality
knowledge empowers
5.
be here with me now
take off your shoes, stay awhile
enjoy the moments
~Melanie Thomason
Fine poetry which seem to sum up where we find ourselves in the world today.
Much appreciated!

Excellent. You said it all. More and more fake vs real has become a problem in our world. You addressed this perfectly.

This is wonderful. I am always so impressed with those who have mastered the art of the Haiku.
