balancing
on a tree stump
one-legged crane
Twin Towers
the smoking of
wildfires
wondering
about the moon
I pack up my mind

Nice rewrite, I like how yours is in contrast with mine - pack, unpack.
The second one, it is meant much more than the smoke of cigars.

What are you not sure of, the meaning of my first one or how to rewrite something like that?

These are all written in this September either by observation or feeling...since usually there is no title for haiku, I just add September there for this group.
