So short but so brilliant. So rare to see somebody have such an amazing out look. I feel that your very inspirational. I think that you should write to teach, and also write to learn. Your an amazing writer, and you should be proud.

This is such an amazing and inspiring Haiku! In my school we are doing a poetry project and have to pick our  two favorite poems that we are inspired by to put in our books and I chose this as one of them (not claiming ownership, just displaying it as one of the best poems I have ever read!) Keep writing!
