Haiku



Original Haiku. Traditional 5-7-5, I hope you enjoy! 

winter winds exhale
one last, long, cold breath before 
giving up to spring 

the full moon, alone 
hangs low in the twilight sky 
i feel her sadness 

morning fog blankets 
a dew kissed hidden meadow 
god's beauty unseen 

face tilted skyward 
drinking in afternoon rays 
sunshine warms my soul 

aware of morning 
first light, songbirds, alarm clock 
a chance to start fresh 

hours without words 
solitude is a constant 
opportunity 

puffy white clouds float 
lazily in a blue sky, 
daydreaming again 

electricity 
tangible when you are near 
come closer, shock me 

desire, dangerous, 
unquenched it burns urgent, hot 
longing for your touch

New Haiku


This is such a great creative release for me...I hope you enjoy it. :-)


her body shivers
standing barefoot in cool rain,
letting go of him


bittersweet season,
heart's mood like the falling leaves,
dying without you


little green spider
riding a single silk thread
battles autumn winds


she wears solitude
like faded old blue denim,
comfortable friend


one by one they fall,
grief reduced to salty brine,
love just doesn't last


ladybug's flight paused,
red and black zigzag across
my white cotton tee


time, an illusion
that seems to pass more slowly
when I'm not with you
