Fleeting


Exuberant crowd
Intoxicating adulation
Fleeting fame

Flower Dew
Water that cannot
Quench thirst

    Both Haiku have a certain charm, the second one esp left me thirsty for more...

    How well both your haiku pieces complement each other. Each adds more meaning to the other, even though they both hold a beauty of their own.

    A beautiful composition, as always.

      I wanted to convey same feeling of disillusionment through them. Your comments suggest that I didn't fail.
