    old top hat
    magical miracles
    breath of life



    Frosty!! :D

    why does the wind continue to move
    over rocks?

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss, T.

    Autumn leaves
    border a construction site
    moving fire

    fire warms, water soothes
    within the horizon line
    caress

    red leaves stick to pine needles

    the brittle leaves
    through a strong breeze
    open a book quickly

    seeing them collected

    Man, what an experience! To teach a child to read, and watch the world open in words.

    A stronger breeze in sunshine
    and the branches reach up
    Try this!

    Hello! I have a small thick book of blank pages that I just found for this project. The size of the page is perfect for a haiku. It will be the 1 year annivesary of this thread soon, and I decided to send this book of haiku from this board to Pearl Jam as a gift. Haiku is meant to be given as a gift. Did you know that?

    Anyone up for this? I will ask permission before I include the poem. Anyone who does not want their poetry included or does not respond will not have poetry included in this little book. It should be fun!

    i'll review some of the posts i made in this thread.. thanks for the idea miss bella :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    her eyes wide open
    each time i read her where
    the wild things are

    (Where The Wild Things Are was my daughters favorite book to have me read to her at night, some 19 year ago :) )
