She watches him flip
over railing, somersault
into rocky creek.

Daft lad! What some will do to impress. I like this, with the spare, pared down feeling the haiku gives with her standing, motionless – it works well.

I am truly hoping he found a deep spot. 🙂 Nice haiku and good take on the photo.

Ah, I was wondering if maybe he didn’t know when to stop with trying to impress her… It’s a beautiful haiku 🙂

Great three lines. I kind of thought somewhere in his showing off he didn’t make it

Hey, I have seen these kind of bridges. She probably wasn’t happy about him jumping.

I don’t think so, either. I’ve been on bridges like this. They’re terrifying!

Crossing a major river on was is really cool because they move. 😉

A dark, yet interesting tale! Did she want him to flip for her? Did she enjoy watching acrobatics? Thought provoking!! I like it!

Thanks! I’d like to think that he wanted to impress her and did maybe one too many flips… 😉
