Gods, spirits, and man,
All bow heads to the mother,
She thrives to spite them.

Melancholy
There’s a bird outside, Its wings look torn to gold leaf, The wind blows again. A/N: What is your interpretation of this haiku? I had an idea when writing it, but upon review, I can see it could have many meanings! What does it mean to you? Also quick note - I am thinking of bringing back 'See These Three' (where I list my top 3 reads for a period of time) but perhaps as a bi-monthly event on my account. In articles separate from my stories/poems. What do you think?

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

As a mother, I agree with Hanna. As a only child/daughter to my mother I like your arrangement as it suits our rather rocky relationship. My mother doe not seem to like me and is quite the narcissistic parent. I had to feed her it felt. I am roaming through The Vocal today discovering writer's I have never read, so hello!
I feel like (syllables aside) I want it to be in spite of them rather than to spite them, in my kind of mental model of the world.
I got power of nature from this, particularly the idea of Mother Nature. There is reverence for it but it will do its own thing. The word "spite" along with "thrives" suggests that there is an enjoyment from it; that she needs to do it in order to be strong and that it is selfishly motivated as well as a demonstration of her power over us. But ultimately, mothers are meant to nurture. Maybe it's for our own good? Either way, we're at her mercy as we "bow to her".
Beautiful. They bow to her, but still see her as less than and there them. And, as Donna said, that could be either Mother, or Mother Nature.. or both.
This was beautiful TWW! My interpretation is either a nod to motherhood or mother nature. The idea that all things are centred around nature and how she thrives, the one true ruler of our planet!
Nice to see new Haiku From you!
