Both are fascinating on many levels. Read them over several times and kept seeing more
Liked the first a bit more. Matches my mood
The second one, Susan - I like every word of it.
in the immortal words of cyndi lauper... money changes everything.... thank god i will never find out first hand......
stained and feuds work perfect with these words, dont they? Really nicely done
I prefer the first, but both are excellent.
excellent Haiku sue!
money.. the root to all evil
i'm with pjd, i also like the first, but both are excellent....your poetry always seems to be spun so perfectly....i wish i could write poetry like this.
Variation in honor of yours:
cloth patched but not money
stained, dreams quite tangled,
of the threads understood
It often causes problems that are unnecessary and really can be the root of evil. Love your haikus.
Sue,
Good job. Money, necessary but over rated.

You're awesome with words.
Both poems make me think, about ideas floating around in the news and the confusion they can cause, as well as the broken dreams caused by financial ruin. That's how I read the poems, and I see them as related too. You are the master of "less is more."
I like the second one - stained the cloth of dreams - what a great line
I also like the second one but both are great. I love the use of patched & stained.
You do it every time! Both are marvellous!
there's a lot of Truth in that first one!
Some only understand money.
I like both!

When did the news become so opinionated and slanted? Or has it always been? That's where the first one took me.
Also, I want to thank you for reading and commenting on so many 3WW's each week. It's that interaction that keeps things going, I think. And I know that it can be time-consuming. So, thanks.
"the cloth of dreams" Love that line! I like the textile feel to these with "threads" etc.
Nicely done. I think the money triggering feuds is one of the most tragically important lessons we must learn in life.
Ah, money. Devilish concept, if ever there was one.
