This world is so wide that, even if you flitted around and around it, you would never reach the end of it. This blog is a collage of more or less literary and humorous, outlandish or sometimes even serious glimpses at this great wide world.

In the middle of nowhere
Dumped along the highway somewhere in Texas, thumb ignored
This was great - it started a whole mental scene for me like the opening of a film. I wonder where else it could go...no need to go anywhere though - I like it just as it is!!!
And thank you, pri, for pointing out that 'empty' is missing. Not so, however, the concept of emptiness - it's in the title... So I hope that I may be excused :)
Somewhere in Texas. That line makes the whole image for me. Nicely done, and happy 3WW. I also had a hitchhiker haiku this week.
ReplyDeleteIt left me "empty". LOL
ReplyDeleteI too got the whole feel of anguish. Happy 3www!
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot! Conjures up images!
ReplyDeleteGood to be back!

ReplyDeleteBeing a native Texan, I so see this! I know others may think this is sad, but it gave me a chuckle. Maybe because I've been there before....
ReplyDeleteuhoh..u missed out on 'empty' :-/
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by and commenting!

all you need is a girl is short shorts... it works... really it does.....
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Texas! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the bleakness in here! A whole novel in a haiku!
ReplyDeleteI liked the "somewhere in Texas" line. Like it didn't matter where in Texas... just that you were in that state said it all :)
ReplyDelete:) i really enjoyed the imagery. :)
ReplyDeleteReminded me of a scene in 'Dil hain ki mantha nahin'. 'A thumb may be small in size but can stop large truck' Amir khan says....

Enjoy your day.
Felt like it could have been the beginning of a movie.
ReplyDeleteOK, now I see someone else already said that. But that was my first thought, too.
