Absent (O.S.I.)

Hi all,

I am writing the following poem for O.S.I. and the theme is absent.

I bite my tongue
As words are lodged in my throat
Like a pebble in the bottom of a well
I pray you can hear its echo
Breaking through the darkness
To fill this absence

My heart is light
And dreams to fly
Where my failing eyes
Cannot guide it
It thumps louder and stronger
Becomes my friend and guardian

Footprint (Haiku)

Hi all,

I am writing a pair of haiku for Haiku Heights and the theme is footprint.

Fall gleams bare, shimmers

Red and gold leaves shower me

Colorful footprint

 

Today nature calls

Strong and clear in the cool breeze

Shoes cast their footprint

Birth of Sunrise

Hello Skywatchers and Haiku Lovers,

I am posting for the wonderful memes over at Sky Watch Friday and Haiku Heights.

 

Heaven's womb

The sun beams at me

Tears of joy

Hunger (Haiku Heights)

Hi all,

I've been away too long!  Here are three haiku for Haiku Heights and today's theme is starve.

Hunger preys

Playing cruel, sick games

Belly growls

 

Hungry eyes

Finds kindness in bread

Sweet baked friend

 

Better days

The world full again

Hunger ends

Waves of Autumn

Hi Sky Watchers,

Waves in the clouds inspired this poem from me:

Waves of autumn

In the sky

Says goodbye

To summer

 

I feel the warmth

Of the sun

Vacate from its place

 

Turning the trees gold

As the world embraces

Autumn's coat of colors

 

Happy Sky Watch all!

Moon & Autumn (Haiku)

Hi all,

I am writing two haiku for Haiku Heights and the themes are moon and autumn.

Moon pale and vacant

I fill all my dreams in it

Light encompass me

 

Did you leave your mark

Recite poems on autumn days

Words resting in trees
