Diamante Poem about Food and Drink
This is WONDERFUL… the contrast of small, dirty mud and playing with the environment/circumstance he has, against the high, clean stars – bright with hope and possibility – and believing… dreaming of something better, though not knowing what better is… all that and more is contained in 14 words on three simple lines. Masterful!
Glad to see you write lovely haiku.

I agree that your haiku shows such a lovely contrast between the dirty world he inhabits and the starry world up above. Beautiful haiku.
I wonder what he sees in those stars…. this is lovely!
