Haiku – River & Stone

Stones on river bed
Oblivious to surface
Frothing sturm und drang

Haiku – View

#1 – Pessimist
Walking the old beat.
Promised never to return.
Age shifts your viewpoint.

#2 – Optimist
The view from the bridge,
Youth’s promise refined by age,
Rewards the walker.

Haiku – Milk & Smooth

#1
Often overlooked,
The milk of human kindness
Smoothes out life’s furrows

#2
Milk of the poppy,
Smooth, soft, anaesthetising,
My velvet cocoon

#3
White Russians:
Like a hand grenade
Wrapped in silk

#4
Cream rises always
To the top of the carton
Ascent isn’t smooth

#5
Flawless, milky skin
Round eyes, soft lips, tender heart…
And legs she killed for

Haiku – Sleep

Sobbing in the dark
Waiting for the final sleep
To set my song free

Tame the wind – haiku

You can’t fight nature:
Wind is free; it can’t be tamed.
Start to speak your mind.

 

Written for secret keeper’s weekly prompt, using the words: wind speak free start fight

Haiku – Essential Wisdom

Essential wisdom:
Real friends cannot be bought
But they are hard won

Haiku – Find

Don’t travel the earth
Seeking wisdom and answers:
You’ll find them within

Haiku – Cruise

Cruising on vapours
At the end of a long year
Reflecting sadly
