You were about to fail
the practical part. But I
was sure you’d prevail.

Note
The other night I had a dream about a friend. In the dream, she was trying to get her driver's license, which was probably not going to be easy, considering she's over forty and has never driven a car before. She asked me whether she was going to pass. Somehow I knew she'd fail the practical part the first time around, but I also knew that she would eventually pass. Why did I know this? Because concealed in my right hand I held a small black lacquered box, and because of something inside that box I knew. Strange. But that's how dreams are.

A good positive message in the haiku! and the dream, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to express confidence in another person. Crisp haiku. It's impressive that you've made it rhyme.
