Carry on Tuesday #38 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from Martin H. Fischer:
Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.
~
At times
I feel like
Pressed metal
Dangling on a string
A mobile
Victim to fickle winds
But I know that
While I have breath
I can energise my wings
And fly
My very being is the ticket to
The greatest show on earth
Earth itself
~
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

What an excellent illustration for verses about a mobile! I loved the idea of you being blown about by 'fickle winds' but I doubt if you do!
What a wonderful analogy. A lovely post.
And your homeland is one of its finest stages.
Yes..I agree. Our own existence is the ticket to this life. What else can we hope when we are already here amidst all that we can hope for?
A neat poem...mobility and flying. The greatest show on Earth is that we are--breathing and sentient beings. I marvel at it all.
