on these very wheels
a buggy took us to town
we let our knees touch
the terrain was rough
disease and sickness prevailed
a wagon train rolled
a lifetime with you
more than any man deserved
hard times were good times

Love the picture! Those steel rims are still holding the wheel, such as it is, in one (times two) piece!
Hard times are here and now for The Jagged Man so the words “hard times were good times” are resonating with me right now. No easy button here and I think that is a good thing.
I just want to tell you l am digging Haiku right now. I would say “Like McDonald’s I’m loving it” but those sorry so and so’s can’t get an order right if you paid them. Wait we do but seriously I love your Haiku so keep it flowing man!

Hello Mike,
Read your poems,from wheels till last stop. Perfect title to stop, and repeat,
Read them thrice and i don’t want to stop…go on and on.
Beautiful haikus, siimply written thought-provoking words. They will stay with me for a long long time.
I enjoyed reading them and as they makes one uncomfortable, I like it more.
I will re-visit this page again, sometime next time.for your previous work.
Thank you Mike.
Cheers
Arjun
