COLLECTION OF HAIKU I

Hai - ai - kuu ...

DEVOID OF REASON

Cunning rancid minds -
Cesspools of irrational thought
spreading disease

NIGHTMARES

Heartbreaking malaise -
You’re the needle in my eye
lacerating dreams

BURNING OUT

Cimmerian breath -
Luminous side of life burns
unavoidably

DESIRE

Amorous ember -
Swallow you to warm my heart
ignite my passion

Author's Note

I thought I'd post my Haiku in fours. Posting them one by one seems like I'm cheating the reader. I want to give you your money's worth so to speak :)

First Haiku is a modern one with 5-8-4. All the others are 5-7-5.
Tell me which one you like the most, because I think I will post that one on its own.

This is very inspiring and interesting. I enjoyed the third haiku the best it stood out more then the rest. I'm not really haiku fan to be honest I never read haiku's but that third one really did amaze me and it's inspiring. It encorages me to write more from the heart.

i really enjoyed this. just a thought, if you were take the first lines in each stanza (of all you haikus) and make that into a sort of poem too would be really cool.

Cimmerian breath -isn't cimmerian a lovely word
i personally feel there is nothing wrong if you had posted the haikus one by one..haikus have a very serene effect at times,and leave the readers with certain essential questions but then this is a new kind of format.
