Haiku - Seasons

The magical moon
rises above barren trees,
giving us new dreams.


The sun's out brightly
gleaming off frozen landscapes,
shows us ghosts of warmth.

Depression in grey
clouds that seem to last so long,
showing ugliness.

Anger in dark skies
plants itself within our minds,
leaving us hurting.

Happiness right now
new days, a hint of light green,
love is in the air.

mn - 2007

Nice work, Marilyn. Remember when you thought you couldn't write haikus?
Thanks, Corina - I still am not sure of them and keep recounting the syllables!

These are great! They make me think I need to write some more haikus myself. It would be hard to write some as lovely and expressive as these.

I really don't understand haikus but I do understand this poem with words to summons up dreams of the seasons. Thanks for sharing...

All of these paint pictures in the mind. Great!

Lovely, distinct images capturing your mind. Wonderful, Marilyn.

Lovely, it's easy to tell you are sick of Winter and ready for Spring.

Thanks, everyone. Dawn, you hit on it. There's SNOW out there, it's cold and I can't wait for spring! (shiver!)
Haikus - Ronald
1st line - 5 syllables
2nd line - 7 syllables
3rd line - 5 syllables
Which is why I'm always counting them!
