Haikus

SO I really enjoy haikus because there is something so poetic about having to convey a mood or evoke an image while being limited to the amount of syllables. Here is some of my personal best.

Haikus

Sleeping with the moon

Awakening with the sun

Lifetime ritual

Plucking string by string

Making harmonious songs

Conjures joy in all

Looking to the stars

The universe shares it all

Each star has a tale.

Lonely little leaf

Falling to a river's flow

A journey awaits

Life is connected

Like strands of a spider web

All part of one whole

The old man sits down

Listening to the world

And says not a word

The ocean and the moon

Caught in an eternal sway

Known as yin and yang

A man all alone

Must face his greatest challenge

Conquering himself

A misguided soul

Has not a destination

Only a journey

A broken man's faith

Tis an honest testament

Of desperation

These were my originals for a creative writing class. Hope you enjoy:)

I enjoyed the haiku's, you write with nice philosophical depth and a flair for emotions that can often be deceptive "The old man sits down
Listening to the world And says not a word" and "A misguided soul Has not a destination Only a journey" are two of my favorites. Bravo, I give them five out of five Clap! Clap Clap! Clap! Clap!

Many thanks Bear! Your words are too kind. It pleases me that the philosophical aspect was well received
