pyramid shadow
an ant drags
the moth's wing
Alexander Shytkovskiy, Ukraine
The haiku “pyramid shadow” gives credence to one of the iconic edifices of African civilization and the proof thereof about the existence of a material culture of people. The juxtaposition between the moth's wing and the mere shadow of a pyramid may be imperfect, but this has only found reality in a poem. Thus, the ant may look tiny yet it's able to haul away a food far larger than its size. This may have turned the curiosity of the poet on to further observe and write. To me, the industriousness cum the resilience of the ant are the attractive sides of this haiku.
