My Haikus

[mara13]

I am not really much of a poet, but from time to time, I get a flash of inspiration and have to jot it down, this thread is for those moments.

Walk With Me.

The Woman in me

Longs to walk on the beaches

Under the moonlight

[mara13]

I Miss You

Alone on Easter

My grandfather gone

I really miss you

Sorry, I had to get that one off my chest. Of all my family, he would have been the one that I know for a fact would accept me as I am.

Hi Mara,

<< hug >>>

It is good to see you posting poetry

It has a power in it like none other

Take some time

Doesn't have to ryme

Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.~Audre Lorde

Logistics

new year, a new start

am taking logistics now,

and forklift driving...

Ohio

Ohio is cold,

as Upstate New York, but the

people are so warm.

[Charlize]

I love reading you poems.

Thanks.

Hugs,

Charlize

[mara13]

Thank you Charlize, but don't expect a lot of them, I only write when inspiration hits, which is very rarely.

[gennee]

Good poems, Mara. Keep on writing.

[Guest Jennifer T]

The wind blows softly.

Solitude envelopes me.

Tears fall silently.

[Guest Brenda Hailey]

Fear brings the dark

Courage brings the light

Spirit grows in a true heart.

[Guest SouthernBelle]

Omg, I love haiku! Some really great poems!!! Keep em coming!

[Guest Razilee]

My haikus seem to express my isolation, for example;

Sunset in the West

While through the empty field

Blow brown, brittle leaves.

Alone on a hill

Newly covered in white snow

A small green pine tree

[Guest kiira]

do you know renga?

which is made by more than two persons, after one made a haiku, a three lines poem, the other makes a sentence which seems to fit it as tanka, a 5 lines poem. and add another haiku to the tanka and add 2 lines again and haiku again and again, that is called renga.

so i try,

and the moon smiles,

soothing the woman mercily.

/////

your haiku, your 3 lines, is so serene.

i like it.
