Rescue Haiku

Posted on January 26, 2013 | 14 Comments

S-O-S
you feel my distress
beating time

take my hand
guide me to safety
i am lost

going down
water rushing in
please save me.

Inspired by the word prompt “RESCUE” at

  Glad you enjoyed – I thought I was just being simple and boring on this Haiku prompt. Guess sometimes plain and simple makes for impact

  Nope no answer
  I stood up and found out it wasn’t so deep after all
