Haikus look so simple, but they don't come easy to me. So I shall read and enjoy the chain. ~you're off to a good start! |

nourishment from soil creates bedding for flower ready for sowing Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

both flower and fruit are flyway habitats; bees' nectar corridors There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Violent Crashing Waves The dark clouds over shadow The storm surrounds us The crying mother Holds a child in her arms The child is still House shakes in the wind It screams and hollars out loud "I'm not a whisper" Of sudden glory The rain stops and the sun shines One more answered prayer The child awakes Smiling at the rainbow It kissed the blue lake So she cried no more watching the placid sun set which so calmed her sole -Juju- -hehe off subject again0.; |
