Waitingnew generation
waiting, the tide will come in
they sweep it back out
old generation
waiting also, just to see
they know can't be done

That is generation gap! And it remains!!
Well said.
Excellent haiku - especially the second.
The second one has its one stand the first one is really deep Loved them both :)
thoughtful...true words!
The waiting game is a hard one to play, isn't it, Jim?
Gathering Wisdom
This one when read together sounded really wise and I guess this set can only come with age, cheers!
When will these 'kids' get it?? Nice work...
Ah...the generation gap, expressed so well. But aren't we bridging that gap a bit more these days, with the Internet? I like to think so.
Happy Week Jim.
Hello Jim,
The young ones of today think they know everything when in fact, they really don't have a clue. You speak the truth my friend! Nicely done!
Thanks for sharing & visiting.
Thoughts Of Beauty In The Stillness Of Dawn...
I think each generation has its own time and searching for meaning ~
Great to see you in HH ~
So the cycle continues. Thanks, Jim.
