An empty wallet
but a heart that's full of joy
equals happiness!

In shadows we roamed,
Echoes of love now faded,
Lost souls find solace.

About this poem:
In the haiku, "In shadows we roamed" sets the scene of a relationship that once existed, where the lovers were intertwined in each other's lives, sharing moments both bright and dark. "Echoes of love now faded" signifies that the intensity and passion of their love have diminished over time, leaving behind only faint remnants of what once was. Finally, "Lost souls find solace" suggests that despite the loss and heartache, there is still hope for healing and finding peace in the aftermath of lost love. It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of moving forward despite the pain.

Icy is the breeze
as it flows over the Tundra
making big snow drifts
Cheeky monkey waits
until your back is turned
then steals all your fruit
Golden ray of sun
blazing paths full of sunlight
warms as it touches
Rain teeming downward
flooding the marshy grasslands
beware the bog lands

Red-moon alignment’s
ruby rays trickle, tracing
winter’s illusion.

Love in certainty
When nothing else has value
So great not to trade

Pollen fills the air
Haikus flying on the wind
Where's my handkerchief?
