            wild abandonment

in the air a swallow flits

            freedom uncontrolled

    And don’t they express freedom in the air the best?

    I don’t think I’ve ever had the joy of seeing a swallow - too much time living in cities. Your photo and poem are wonderful. I crave some of that wild abandonment for myself.

    Oh yes - watching them in the air is freeing, isn’t it?

    ‘Wild abandonment’ is such a great descriptive for freedom.

    This so wonderful! And the photo fits in so perfectly with the motion of swallows while curving and sweeping over water.

    O to be able to fly! What perfect freedom that would be.
    Great Haiku.

    Swallows do seem to have the wind by the tail.

    Superb Haiku to express the passion of freedom, and a great picture to go with it.:)
