Like an Angel
Golden halo on her head
She captures my heart
her aura so dazzling bright
she bestowed a peaceful smile

online now!Haiku 1 (diamonds in the snow---)
flowering bees this morning
and butterflies too
at the roadside
solitary flowering weed
vision of loveliness
look! in the garden
the poinsettia is bringing
its first Christmas
walk softly please
streetlights are making
diamonds in the snow
blown in with the wind
hummingbird nuzzles a bloom
and is blown away again
perched on the treetops
iguana closes its eyes
soaking in the sunshine
the new doorkeeper
of this deserted house
one mister spider
loud feathered thud
- flight into eternity
deceptive glass pane
About this poem:
For those who may not know, Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. The standard structure consists of three lines in which the first line consists of five syllables, the second has seven syllables and the third has five syllables."Haiku is a finger pointing at the moon. If the hand is bejewelled, we no longer see that to which it points." The idea is to draw attention to what is being said and not to the words used to say it.
Night of the misty moon
hearing her name,
I listen.
In the sakura fields,
"It's tonight",
we noticed.
The radiance shows,
on the
Night of the misty moon.
It's beauty glowing.
Love is forever,
As a diamond
Becomes pure,
A sakura petal
Falls into the pond
we are near.
Quiet, Serenity, Peace,
This is our place
For the night
Of the
Misty moon.
About this poem:
This poem is based on both old Japanese and Chinese philosophy, in which, is why I wrote this and because a couple months ago, the moon was looking misty.In this poem, is a hint on how to keep balance, stability, Vitality and love for others. For which cannot be seen, is what lies from within.
The night i wrote this poem, I was feeling quite calm, peaceful, tranquil, and at peace with myself and GOD. Writing these types of poems is how I express both my feelings, and the old philosophy of China and Japan.
Nature Haiku 5.7.5.
a bird sang sweetly
despite the city chaos
nature will survive
~~~~~
a single raindrop
disturbed the glistening pond
then reflections danced
~~~~~
a sudden shower
the adults ran for shelter
children love puddles

Nature.Orchid (haiku)
coating the orchid in dew
its buds glistening
HAIKU FOR YOU (with bonus feature of author's interpretation) - "What do ghost see in a mirror?"
Oak's underbelly.
where dreams appeal naturally
mom slipped from the crypt.
Oak's underbelly... (in the shade of an oak tree on a sunny lazy day)
where dreams appeal naturally...(be easy to fall asleep)
mom slipped from the crypt...(dreamt a lot about my mom right after she passed but she didn't know she was dead)
Beauty
waving green caress the quiet
hills with nonchalance.
If only u could see the missing puzzle piece
that I'm in front of you,
and hear my calls to you at night,
where I am here alone,
I wonder if you notice how,
I care so much for you,
but it seems that I shall be nothing,
to you forever more,
someday I hope you turn around,
and see what's truly there,
a girl that is a perfect piece,
that fits into your heart.
