Existential Blues
A Challenge Haiku
Eternal blue sky
Mirrors the Void in my soul
Infinite expanse...
Honestly, I'm not feeling this challenge anywhere near as much as I did the Mountain Haiku one, but I decided to give it a go anyway. It turned out a little more morbid than I was expecting, but it's been a bit of a week, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
Please enjoy the obligatory rambling so I can get the story to the 100 word minimum count needed for poetry entries. While I normally agree with it, I wonder if Vocal might not want to make an exception for Haiku entries...

Beautiful 💙 They should take down the warning for poetry during Haiku. It throws people off about the word count.
Beautiful and deep; lovely work!
Beautiful!!! Loving it!!!
Hey chap, I think they have suspended the hundred word minimum for the Haiku challenges - at least they haven't ditched any of my entries.
