Your heart was my map.
But lines bridged across in ink
Cannot reach you now.

Haiku Challenge "absolute"
Oh absolute sky
Turbulent opaque sincere
Hold back cold dark space
Haiku Challenge "Use"
Turn the Earth over.
Read the small sign on the back:
"Use this planet well".

Haiku Challenge - "wait"
The prompt word for yesterday's Haiku Challenge on Twitter was "wait". Any
Haiku you like, as long as it has that word in it. Here's mine: We are all broken.
We wait, each in our own way,
Knowing it or not. Snow falls like ash from the sky
Snow falls like ash from the sky

As echoes subside.

#HaikuChallenge: "lock" and "dirty"
I'm cheating just a little: the #HaikuChallenge today was to use the word
"lock". Well, I'm close...
Unlock your dry heart
to let the haiku slip out
and tell your story.
The challenge for yesterday was to use the word “dirty”, so
here are a couple of “Dirty Haiku”!
#1. Long hard dirty rain
soaks into my rotten heart.
Turn your face away.
#2. Dirty bones wash clean
In the cool clear mountain stream
Of your morning smile
HaikuChallenge: "tell"
Tell me you can see
Cherry blossom, crows and snow.
My perfect Haiku.
