    when the world sleeps
    the child weeps . . .
    we're in it, and lost
    tears frozen before they hit the ground
    my babysitter's suicide

    autumn wind
    blows dried leaves off the sidewalk
    morning after

    a falling leaf - brown
    shred away
    the edges of dreams
    I'll dig a tunnel
    from my window to yours

    finally came down
    souls got together and lost
    now there´s nothing

    other life is
    but we are not allowed
    shall we dream?

    I don't think I completely got it, but let me try another one:



    one bear hibernates
    sleeping alone
    does it miss the spring?

    this is what I can tell you not revealing my intimacy excessively:..that last one was way too cool...

    do feathers get
    to know each others flying
    over the same bird?

    two birds of a feather
    two birds hit with one stone
    not a good time to be a bird

    What is a dream in physical form to you - like how does "dream" manifest if you were to hold it. Is it a crystal ball or a baseball bat, a cloud? I think of "dream" as fluffy like clouds.

    shade from summer sun
    thunder
    turns to confinement

    Weather clouds roaming
    Over the fields we once knew
    the flight of pillows
    no matter where you go,
    there you are.

    for me....everything can be the manifestation of a dream...for me its condition its not in the form...but in the behaviour of the things you see...


    cracked memories
    of a party sequence*
    that´s a confinement

    they are roses without thorns
    no protection

    Ohmygod I'm a new person! I went from being Bibliobella to Haiku Sunrise because I really want to focus on Haiku and just absorb it into my being. Kindof snazzy, eh? I don't know if the sunrise part fits so well, but we'll see.

    well usually the last line of a haiku has little to do with the haiku itself, so its very fitting, and it goes well together.
    no matter where you go,
    there you are.

    I've changed again, yeah me. Ms. Haiku here, not as rosey as Haiku Sunshine, but almost as saucey as Bibliobella.
