One Line Haiku--By Chen-ou Liu--Canada

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

  3. Wow! 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

  4. I 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
