Against the Odds...Haiku.

naked Winter trees
thrashed by freezing wind and rain
now bearing Spring buds

Traveling dreams

Diverging roads
Virtual realities
Of traveling dreams

Ghosts gathered to play
The game of Russian roulette
No drama: all dead

The news from Ukraine
Feed on tragedy and pain
Rolling tanks crush peace

Forever Love

Fresh as a flower
Love that doesn’t fade with time
Blowing in the wind

About this poem:
Experimenting a little more with Haiku (nature) versus Senryu (feelings) .....5-7-5 format. Using a very structured format when writing poetry often helps to create such creativity and emphasis on words denoting feelings......amazing how descriptive language becomes....like music almost following conventions.

Lost Freedom

Flapping growing tired
Freedom is invisible
Sits so forlorn,Caged

Senryu

caught in the moment
reflection in a window
who covets their time

It's a sad sad song
beyond all hope of appeal
holding your photo


stealing from Dylan:

Along the watchtower
all the women came and went
princes kept the view

First Glance (Senryu)

Sudden attraction
Mixed with a small amount of:
A slight twinge of guilt

Unrequited Love

A heart full of love
given: expecting the same
but waiting in vain

Winter horse

She came down running
from the frosted virgin snow
stood on the roadside
in the evening winter glow
as the northerlies did blow

What is Haiku?

These few words I write
Are stripped as bare as Winter
