You and me alone
Madness of world locked away

Your eyes are fire.
Their image burnt into my soul,
Scarred by beauty.

Strokes of affection
Light and tenderly expressed
Keep love’s bonds so strong.
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!
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...
Calm as a river
Tranquility in my heart
Blue summer skies reign.
Swaying leaves on trees,
warmer air, blooming flowers,
spring's finally here.
Your first line has 6 syllables, not 5.
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.
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!
Mellow, mild, May day,
calling children out to play.
Summer's on her way!
A swish of tail fins
Silver scales shining brightly
Down into the dark
Yellow flame flickers
Shadows dance upon the wall
Love grows ever strong.
Love is nature's threads
embroidered in children, stitch
by stitch by a mother.

JANUARY
Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads
To the sun's glory.
I love this poem sooooo much! Can't stop reading it. I am in love with the absolute perfect descriptions of each month...great job Paul.
Beautiful sunrise
On a warm summer morning.
I wait for day's start.
Bees nudged the flowers
Babies peeped out of the nest
One fine crisp morning.
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!

A misty morning -
Pumpkins in the air, while boots
Crunch on autumn leaves.
Cream, smooth as velvet
A taste, sweet as your first love
Cold and refreshing
