The Guard

some paper and sticks
faith passed to generations
the scarecrow guard

the scarecrow guard
wishes of a family tied
for food,living,life.

  1. Scarecrow’s have always fascinated me for their simple nature yet ability to so powerfully influence their environment, I think you’ve captured that very well here! Thanks for joining in at Two Shoes Tuesday! :-)

  2. Hi Nimue,

    I really like this Haiku and what it is saying. I feel that for many generations there has always been someone to guard what is passed on to each generation. The scarecrow guard could be a librarian or just the person in each family who is tasked to pass this information on to each new generation. Before books came along the stories had to be memorized and verbally passed on to each generation. We have it so easy in this day and age and yet somehow I think we are losing the importance of this knowledge staying in families. It is good that people like you write about the importance of guarding this information. This is the best way to let the younger ones know about their families faith and history.

    Thank you so much for your patience while I am slowly getting to visit everyone.

    God bless and Happy New Year.
