snowflakes on my left on my right her crimson lips
the sound of spring rain on top of our moaning
her face in our cracked bedroom window blue moon
day after the blizzard her razor-sharp words
cold snap breaking down thoughts of my ex

Wonderfully expressive Haiku which really bring strong visuals. Excellent! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteWow! You are a haiku master. I loved all four of them and can see why you won the first-place prize. To me, haiku are the most difficult form to write, but you did an awesome job. The last one is my favorite as I can relate to it all too well. Awesome work! Best wishes, Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI love the haiku, mainly for its difficulty. This is superb on so many levels, least of which is I can so relate. Well done. Kristina
