1. Eye Of Fire
Your eyes are fire.
Their image burnt into my soul,

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...

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

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.
Swaying leaves on trees,
warmer air, blooming flowers,
spring's finally here.

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...
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!

Picking up pebbles
Or seashells strewn on soft sand
Pure relaxation.
So beautiful! So Enchanting! LOVE the Imagery!
Fuzzy blushy skin
Bursting sweetness, hidden seed
Succulent nectar
This describes a high quality ripe peach exactly, and the deliciousness of a really sweet, succulent taste explosion, and the rapture of it all !
You and me alone
Madness of world locked away
Peace and quiet reigns
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.
Mellow, mild, May day,
calling children out to play.
Summer's on her way!
