   😉

   • Thanks, and happy rally to you too, Jingle.. 🙂

3. ha. nice into the wind or with it…differeent circumstance require each but in learning to fly perhaps it is easier to go with the flow…

   • Yep, if it is against, turn to make it your friend 😎 Not applicable for all cases of course, Brian 😀 Glad you liked it, and yes, easier for the first steps.. 🙂

4. Get the feeling of so near and yet so far 🙂 Liked the turnabout coming with guidance in the second Haiku aimed at resolving the problem!! Can feel the frustration in the delay period!!

   • Yeah.. Almost flew and then turned about and I did fly 🙂 Glad you liked the haiku Nanka, and yes, frustration does come when the delay occurs!

5. That was excellent, Leo! Wonderful lesson about turning things around to be learned.

   • Thanks, and glad you liked it, Jenn 🙂

6. Fly Fly birdie 😀 😀 Loved it Leo…Tweety wants to fly now 😛

   • You’re already flying 😛 You’re a bird, Tweety. 😉

7. The law of nature? Well done.

   • Yeah. I think it is too, Charles 🙂 Even the fact that we realize it late might be part of the law..?

8. Very inspiring Leo. Nicely done 🙂

   • Thanks, Norma 🙂

9. Keep the fortitude going! You have just ignited mine 😀

   • Thanks, and a pleasure to ignite some hope in any life, Clariice. Glad you liked it 🙂

13. Nature … fight it and go with it! Well done!

    • Thanks, Snap 🙂 Will go with it. Cheers!

14. Your haiku is marvelous, and so is the image..

    It reminds me of th ‘Tanka’ my mother wrote for my son on his 19th birthday last month

    (translated from Dutch to English, so the number of syllables don’t fit anymore…)

    Dancing bird
    on the edge of the gutter
    his first springboard
    Soon, he will dive
    into the high blue sky.

    • Thanks, and glad you liked both haiku and image, Marit 🙂 Your mother ‘s Tanka is beautiful too.

15. That’s so brilliant – I feel the breeze getting up and have an urge to strap on Icarus wings… and soar! I think you got inside my head… 😉

    • 🙂 Your imagination seems to be soaring already, Rosie. Cheers!

16. I love that. Turning around and using what was defeating you to become successful. Such good word choice as well.

    • Thanks, Aaron. It would be wonderful if all such winds could be conquered by the right thought.

17. What a delightful haiku and photos and I can surely identify with this bird. Thanks.

    • I can too, for the flight of my life has often been hindered by winds, Fran. Thanks for the visit and the words.

18. Nice ending thoughts.

    • Thanks, Michael 🙂

19. splendid conclusion Leo :). i love this form – and you used it so beautifully!

    • I love it too, Lilly 🙂 And I’m glad that you felt my usage was good.

20. Love the thought and the little bird. Go Bird!

    • Amen to that, Donna 🙂 Thank you.

21. the moment will come
    wait for the vicissitude
    and your turn to fly

    • I shall wait, Ina
      For the change shall set me free
      Fly from the struggle

22. Lovely write up!
    And the image steals my heart 🙂

    Alcina

    • Thank you, Alcina 🙂 I’m glad you liked bot haiku and image.

23. i love what this post stands for. “obstinate wind” = life’s shit. most of the time, we dont know it but these are the exact same things that make us fly / grow.

    • Exactly, Hannah. 🙂 Glad you could get the imagery on the dot! Thank you very much.

24. hi Leo~ I love everything about this post! …the bird poised to fly, the fortitude inspired in these haiku and your commments… It’s not always easy… Thank you for teaching us to soar, Leo!

    • Thanks for the visit, Margaret. 🙂 I’m glad to help inspire life.

25. So very true, we should be able to have that kind of determination…I know I am guilty of giving up on myself, far too often. Wonderful words of wisdom and haiku.

    • I have done it often too, Vermont Girl. But it is that itself that has taught me how to fight through. Thanks for the visit and the words!

26. Sweet bird. Strong words.

    • Thank you so very much, Annie 🙂

27. Very nice haiku… I am learning from reading your fine examples ~

    • A pleasure to have you read, and that you take something from it, Heaven. 🙂

28. Your poem makes me realize how little I contemplate the nature around me. I’m inspired to actually see the world around me, instead of just looking at it. Appreciate you sharing what others have been missing.

    • I like how you look at the world, Fountains. It is quite a beautiful vision that you have in you. Cheers!

29. I love how the Wind is both friend and foe unconsciously, and totally get the bird’s reaction. :] xx

    • Yes, depends on the perspective, Catie. Some might say turning back only helps the wind blow you backward, but I prefer to think differently. Glad you liked it.

30. Insightful writing, thank you for your words. 🙂

    • Thank you as well, Raven 🙂

31. it is a lovely encouragement
    reading your haiku
    the sight of wind, fortitude, courage, and spirit.
    love the simplicity of this bird,
    working out what humans sometimes suffer lifetimes with!

    • It is a lovely encouragement to read your comment too, Rebecca 🙂 Thank you for the visit and wonderful words!

32. Beautiful picture of endurance.

    • Thank you, Rachel 🙂

33. “Vicissitude” is a word that scares me. 🙂 But it’s a truly beautiful piece of poetry. Thanks for sharing. Found your blog through Poets Rally.

    • The word is long, and different.. Don’t know if it is scary, Jenni. Glad you liked my words, thank you so much.

34. It’s so inspiring! (:

    • Thank you very much, D 🙂

35. If only all children had this attitude perhaps the world would be in a better shape …great inspirational piece thanks for sharing

    • Maybe we as the elders can teach them this rather than leaving to figure on their own for long? 🙂 Thanks for liking my poem, Kez 🙂

36. What a great poem! Simple, but effective – I love your choice of words. Plus, it’s got really great message and advice more people should consider! Great work 🙂

    • Thanks, Cherlyn and glad you felt it wise. 🙂

37. simply beautiful

    • Thanks, Deb 🙂

40. These are very clever. I like them very much. Perspective.

    • Thank you and glad you felt so, Brave 🙂

41. Yes, if you can’t do it one way, do it another. Great Haiku!

    • Yep. Don’t hold back, Daydreamer 🙂

42. so sad for the bird (the picture is awesome) and so well written!

    • Why sad, Amanda? 🙂 It figured out how to fly in the end 😉
