Wind plays on my face
Why can Wind touch me just so
I cannot touch Wind

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

soft breezes waft me
over land over sea soft
and take me to you

Interloper, you are inspiring many,...Haiku On!< !signature-->

I'm going to have to figure out how to do this beautiful haiku thing......I just don't seem to get it right.....maybe I'll give it a serious try. I loved this.

whispers in the wind
sing upon the bed of dawn
willow trees tremble

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

I suggest you STAY. There are not many who can do this type of poetry really well. YOU do it excellently! Loved this one.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

Bet you wished I hadn't come back

Sunshine - I guess we are haiku-ing on

SEA - you have it.

Victoria - Way to go!

Dreamkeeper - Thanks, I think I will stay

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

this reminds me of a poem written by Christina Rossetti's "Who Has Seen the Wind?"

who has seen the wind?
Neither i nor you;
but when the leaves hand trembling,
the wind is passing through

who has seen the wind?
neither you nor I;
But when the trees
Bow down their heads
The wind is passing by

i hope you enjoyed this one
