Nice to see this. We used to have a haiku thread that everyone posted in, it was fun. It would probably be a large undertaking to try and find it again.flowerforyou flowerforyou

A pointless day I
found the number seventeen
and have loved it since.

Outside the window
A hooded child, head bowed down
Then the church bells chime

Broken as only
Sorrow steals life lovingly
Breath trapped, frozen tomb

Maturity (Haiku)

growing firm and tall
what once was a young sapling
stands a mighty oak

remember a thread
strung with little water beads
our loves our passions
