old man
climbs the hill
on walking sticks
little boy
chases blue cat
holding the staff
a mother's love
child's walking stick
teaching life
king's staff
broken in pieces
loses power
magical faith
parts the red sea
staff of hope
This Haiku is shared with Carpe Diem and the Prompt is Staff, Walking Street.
nice...there is little like a good walking stick...i remember as a child finding our own on hikes...but as adults i have a rather trust one i keep around...also like the inclusion of the parting of the red sea...cool verse...
