The Cowboy Way and spirit of the American west
For my second Magpie Tale, I thought I would do something simple in the form of my third haiku. That’s right, it’s another haiku from The Urban(Haiku) Cowboy, enjoy.
Reflections echo,
blind faith leading rust stained hearts,
corrosive pipe dreams.
This is a Magpie Tale

That was brilliantly creative, Urban Cowboy. Are you sure you’ve only written three haiku? You do them so well!
Thank you Talon, yep, this is my third…I only wish I could write more traditional poems, with more than three lines.
Love this one. You a mind reader, Cowboy?
Hey there Gucci! Now wouldn’t that be something, to be able to read minds?
Glad you enjoyed this.
this is deep.. a strong haiku.. i thought you’d have written more than 3 haikus Urban Cowboy
do come to Haiku Heights, my haiku meme blog, if you want to do more anytime
Welcome Leonnyes, nope…that’s my third, and I’ll definitely be stopping by.
An interesting parallel between the ideas in the second and third lines! Great little haiku!
Welcome Gemma, and thanks.
I can relate to this one
I like it
Sorry you can relate, but glad you like it.
Nice. And thanks for introducing me to Magpie Tales- it’s cool to read such different ideas sparked by the same photo.
Yes, it really is interesting to see the varying takes on the same image.
Oh my dear Urban Cowboy…you have just become my Haiku genius now.. powerful one this is am so elated and sorry been off the blog for a whole day haha…but am here so see you at my corner of space soon x

Hi ya, Space Cowgirl!
If only I could weave my words in concert to create a tale so vivid like your poems do, then I would be genius.
corrosive pipe dreams……very nice.
Thanks, Catherine…and no, your mustache is not better.
Super haiku. In my case, corrosive is a good thing.
Here’s to good things…corrosive or not!
“corrosive pipe dreams” Very nice.
Thanks, and welcome, Martin!
Excellent haiku.
Welcome, and thank you!
i like this a lot. The descriptive words carry sadness and regret with them. Lovely.
Hi Patti, yes…the regret that comes with the realization of ‘truths’.
Very well written. You are good at it.
Have a great weekend.
Ramona
Thank you, Ramona…have a great weekend yourself!
brilliant cowboy…blind faith, rust stained hearts….great imagery and a ring of truth….
Hi ya, Brian… unfortunately, the ring of truth sometimes is not pretty.
I can relate to corrosive pipe dreams.
Great haiku.
Thanks Techno, it’s good that those corrosive pipe dreams are in the past, right?
Oh yes … pipe dreams can turn out to be quite corrosive!
Hi ya Helen, and welcome! Yes, they really can.
oh yeah, I liked this haiku
Hi suz, and welcome…glad you enjoyed this little tidbit.
Very cool!!!
Right on!!
It still amazes me how you writers do it! You guys have amazing writes. Nice.
Thank you Maggie, but I’m really not a writer.
Good.
Blind faith is like driving blind.
Have a nice weekend.
Yea, it really is…isn’t it.
I am fairly certain my heart looks something like that. I might have to try writing something for this one. Excellent Job.
Go for it, Siren! I am looking forward to yours.
…blind faith leading rust stained hearts.. like that!
nice second magpie – I’ve written my first one this week..
Right on, Claudia…and welcome! I’ll be sure to pop on over.
You are always so deep. Sometimes I have to read through things twice just to understand where the heck you are going with it!
Thank you, Shelle…I’ll take that as a compliment…I think.
Get what you can take from me is what I always say
Silly girl…
See… now I’ll take THAT as a compliment!
LOL…you are too cute!
I’m impressed. Just 3? Surely you jest?
Why thank you, Candice…no ma’am, I jest you not…this is my third haiku installment. Glad you like.
That’s my heart, too, but what can you do but move forward?
You could date a cowboy, or not.
I agree with the others, you have a talent for putting a lot of imagery into only a few words. Remember, always love, no matter…
Why thank you kindly sara, and I will remember…
That’s a killer end line – and so sad. (Hugs)
Thanks Shrinky {hugs back}
I must be OLD!!!Hahaaa…Haiku…no clue. I just thought it was pretty…
You write Really well Big Guy!! Book…Think…BOOK!!!Lol
Hughugs
Ha…thank you Donna…if’n there is ever a book you will be the first to know!
Amazing, Cowboy, just amazing. I wish I could write Haiku like that.
Thank you so much Raven.
I wish that I could figure out what people mean in their poems. It is a weak spot of mine.
Ha…good to see you Otin!
That’s a great Haiku. I just love the image of the rust stained heart.
Hi Teresa, and welcome! Glad you like it.
You managed to make this haiku thing seem so easy. I always have trouble with this form. Very classy Magpie, indeed!
Thanks Amber.
Even shattered pipe dreams are so sad, nice Haiku Magpie.
Yes…glad you liked it, Goddess.
A beautiful piece. It surely speaks to life and the final line is stellar.
Thanks for the kind words, Tumblewords!
Loved this. Packed a punch with seventeen words. Quite the feat! I think you should write more haiku…
Thank you, Tina…I definitely will be writing more in the future.
Nice! Love short sometimes when life is so busy. Have fun in the mountains!!
Mountains were awesome!
