haiku challenge – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

An evening haiku

within the evening
leaves abruptly yellowing 
then drifting earthwards

birds greeting the morn
becoming more boisterous 
as the light moves west

This is my response to today’s Twitter haiku challenge.

Today's @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word 'more' in it….

Cruel fears rising up

Rising up within the calm

Catching me off guard

“Broken Dreams” by andziadesign

Every so often, I like to challenge myself with my poetry. Today I logged into Bing Images, grabbed the first one, and crafted the haiku below.

A heart bursting forth
Anguish is encompassing
This near winter night

New romance’s joys,
Intense fluttering heart-rates;
Ah, twitterpation!

Sea’s ungentle care
Focused malice against them.
Drifting Argonauts

For those lacking this
Entelechy, life labors;
Frustration creeps up

My, this was a tough one.

Deep into my heart
Wash away the deep set pain
Unburden my path

Exposing sadness
Uncomfortable, sometimes
Yet not a sickness.
