Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads
To the sun's glory.

You and me alone
Madness of world locked away
Peace and quiet reigns

Aching heart and mind
Needs touch of a caring soul
Yearning company.
This poem touches me because I am currently in a very bad place...
I feel as though a good portion of my family has abandoned me, due to my recent actions...
I need to recognize that I am...
Mellow, mild, May day,
calling children out to play.
Summer's on her way!
Like crunchy cornflakes
Gold leaves rustle underfoot
Beauty in decay.
I like Haikus and I like this one very much. It goes to prove that just a few well-chosen words can say more effectively than pages full. I love the comparison of cornflakes to dead leaves...
The chill, worming in
Shock, pleasure, bursting within
Summer tongue awakes
This haiku just makes me want to close my eyes and picture in my head a beautiful flower garden, swaying in the cool breeze on a hot summer day. It also gives me the chills!

Strokes of affection
Light and tenderly expressed
Keep love’s bonds so strong.
Yellow flame flickers
Shadows dance upon the wall
Love grows ever strong.
Calm as a river
Tranquility in my heart
Blue summer skies reign.
Fresh spring morning time.
That's the sound of solitude,
the presence of peace.
Beautiful sunrise
On a warm summer morning.
I wait for day's start.
I am over you.
Then my eyes meet yours once more,
and I fall in love.
I LOVE this poem! It feels good because I can relate!
Warm fall afternoons,
crisp cool eves with harvest moons,
crickets singing tunes,
I'm so happy you enjoyed "Hello Autumn." It has always been my favorite season of the year. I had to think of a way to sum it up completely for a Haiku style poem and this is what I came up...
Coolness fills the air
Scarves and sweaters everywhere
Fall weather is here
This poem helps me to experience the love of autumn! It's a great visual!
I was in fire,
The room was dark and somber.
I sleep peacefully.
It is a good poem. I like it a lot. It is also narrated well.
Full strawberry moon,
ushers in hot days of June,
high tides fill the dune,
Spring brings happiness
Flowers, songbirds, and green grass.
God's love on display.
Bees nudged the flowers
Babies peeped out of the nest
One fine crisp morning.
Winter fights to stay.
Sweet Spring always wins her way.
Flowers bloomed today!
