Gloomy equinox
Does so little to banish
Winter’s cold hard knocks.

I’ve been very quiet recently, but as it is World Poetry Day, I thought it appropriate to post a little haiku written last year. Enjoy! 🙂

Amour – A Haiku
I feel your embrace
Whether you are far or near
Cradled by your love

Wish – A Haiku
Make a heartfelt wish;
Shooting star streaks through black skies –
Blink and you’ll miss it!

Eternity – A Haiku
Our hands intertwined
Forge an everlasting bond:
A love eternal.

#nofilter – A Haiku
Sunlight filtering
Through pristine puffs of white cloud:
Picture perfect view.

Chance – a Haiku
Opportunities
Pass in the blink of an eye;
Reach out and grab one!

Roar – A Haiku
A leonine roar
Rouses me from fitful sleep
Rattling window panes

Suspicion – A Haiku
I have a sad hunch
That you don’t truly love me;
Just a game for you.

Defenceless – Haiku
She fought her feelings,
Battled notions of love and
Romantic dealings,
But Cupid is smart;
Arrow strung, he took his aim,
Struck her through the heart.

Dark Skies – A Haiku
Ominous rainclouds
Threaten a thorough soaking;
They don’t disappoint.
