12. Your post inspires me to try a Magpie Tale! Thank you 🙂 You create an amazing overall concept combining the prompt with haiku. Found the resolution in the second stanza to be very uplifting.

    • 🙂 thanks very much Dustus.. do join the Magpie gang.. its a lot of fun too 🙂 glad you got inspired by mine, that means a lot coming from u..

    • absolutely Rene.. and understanding too 🙂

15. I love that beckoning light!

    • I love it too, Willow 🙂 glad you loved the poem..!

16. “Absolved, light beckons.” I loved this, Leo! Also, “A right to be heard.” Brings up so many things in just few words. Made me think for a while…

    • thanks Judd 🙂 glad you liked the haiku.. and the thought yielding lines as well 😀

17. Thought provoking haikus. Some much said in so few words.

    • thanks very much, Kristen 🙂

18. Explanation through reasoning is sought when conflicts in the mind seem to mock. 🙁

    Once these are justified the suspicions die down and it is time to move on towards brighter opportunities. 🙂

    Hope my reasoning of those astounding lines are doing justice. 🙂

    • nice reasoning, Nanku 🙂 true what u say.. once justified, suspicions do die down 😀

19. How gratifying to have your thoughts recognized after having been ridiculed.

    • exactly, EG Wow! 🙂 thank u.. glad you liked it!

20. This requires a bit of thinking through.
    I think I agree with the sentiment if I understand it correctly.
    Just need to try and place it in your psyche.
    Unless it is not meant to be personal.
    It is definitely a 3-pipe problem (Conan Doyle), these days updated to a 3-patch problem :-).

    • 🙂 its not meant to be personal, though it could be too, Joco.. glad you liked the haikus! 🙂

21. So happy to read both the Haikus.. very well thought out..Leo.. God bless!

    • thanks R’ji 🙂 glad you liked it.. God bless you too!

22. A double portion…. Thanks for this.

    Have a nice day, Boonie

    • thanks very much for stopping by too, Boonie! 🙂

23. It’s always good when light beckons! Such good sense…

    • yeah.. true Lyn 🙂 good sense!

24. How comforting the light is as the darkness of doubt fades, and we escape once more!

    I love these words and the image – very beautiful!

    Thank you.

    • very true what u say, Sue Fox 🙂 glad you liked the poem.. the image is by Willow! 🙂

25. Not being heard and being misinterpreted are both disempowering. “Absolved, light beckons” is a wonderful image.

    • thanks so much, Meri 🙂 glad you liked the image and imagery! thanks for stoppin by! 😀

26. love the visual introduction to your deeply thought out haikus…
    compelling, thought provoking. oh how we all desire to be seen, heard, without judgement.
    great resolution.
    enter in the light!

    • yeah, judgment is ok.. I think partial judgement is what we don’t like 🙂 glad you loved the the visual effect, Rebecca! 🙂

27. Beautiful piece of photography with beautiful words. The pic does justice to the words! 🙂

    Hope you would like my post too – When love calls

    Keep such beautiful words coming! 🙂

    • thanks for the praise, Romeo..! glad you liked the words..!
      I’ll check out your post..

28. A right to be heard and light beckons – your haikus are very meaningful to me.

    • thanks Marilyn 🙂 that comment is quite meaningful to me as well 🙂

29. true.. its always a happy time when ur thoughts are given recognition than suspicion!

    • yes.. it is a happy time when that happens, for sure, RJW!

30. a piece of heaven! perfect light.

    • 🙂 glad u liked it, Trisha!

31. go to the light…i like how you set the tone and bring some resolution with the second yet leave us room to breath our own…nice magpie.

    • 🙂 thanks very much, Brian! 🙂

32. It could happen! 🙂 Nice!

    • It most certainly could, Tumblewords 😉

33. Well done. Draws one to reflection. Wishing you well! and thank you for your kind words!

    • yeah.. thank u very much, Cathy.. for ur kind words too 🙂

34. You’ve got an entire book/movie plot there in 6 lines. Excellent.

    • 🙂 thanks Jeannie 😀 glad you liked the haikus 🙂

35. Leo,
    This is quite amazing. I think that it takes quite a talent to use a prompt and to create a haiku that gives a voice to those whose weight and value is not recognized in the world. That is what I have taken away from this beautiful haiku of yours. It is a gift to the marginalized of this world. Lovely. I am on a trip to Santa Fe right now or I would have gotten to it sooner.
    xo,
    noelle

    • thanks Noelle 🙂 glad you could take something back from this haiku of mine 😀 yes, marginalism is rampant these days, even we do it with our thoughts 😉 It’s ok, have a nice trip.. I always leave a link back to my contributions 🙂

36. it is good to part the ways so that even the smallest of voices can be heard… lovely haiku my heart capture

    • yes.. it can be heard for sure, Miss Pie!

37. lovely haikus!

    • thanks CM Jackson 🙂

38. very thought provoking and well done.

    • thanks so much, Tami..

39. You sure said a lot in so little – and said it quite well.

    Thanks for sharing. I’m duly impressed.

    • R.

    • thanks for reading and liking it, Rabbit 🙂 glad u stopped by!

40. Yes, all voices have a right to be heard.

    • hi Nima, thanks for dropping by.. yes. u r right… all voices do have that right!

41. I read it once and I thought about it, and then I read it again. It still stays with me, so much so that I have memorized it.

    • hi Angie.. u memorized it? 😮 wow.. that’s a deep praise.. thanks very much! 😀

42. Very thought provoking Leo, wonderful !

    • thanks Cheryl 🙂

43. Very Hopeful voice…
    ‘Light beckons’ are so powerful words…
    Brilliant take on the prompt…:):)
    Absurd thinking should be totally promoted sometimes…:)

    • yeah.. amen to that thought, ET! 😀

44. The haikus are very nice…loved reading them.. 🙂

    • thanks, Sumit 🙂 glad u liked the read 😀

45. Is this what I think it is?? 😀 😀

    Am I #100?? 😉 I am seeking impartial judgement…and I have the right to be heard!!! 🙂

    • no.. ur more like 90th 😛 but u’ll get ur judgement 😉

    • Only 90 eh?? That simply won’t do…. 😛

      Is there a power cut there?? That’s why the window is open I suppose…. 😉

      • lol 😀 maybe that’s why for sure 😉

46. Two powerful haiku’s that can stand on their own and yet together make a very powerful impact. Basho would be proud for that is how he intended haiku to be written.

    nice take on the magpie

    cheers,
