    Haikus

    ~

    I knew what I had to do.
    What I did not know
    Was how to do it.

    ~

    I tried to write but no words came
    Did my mind run dry
    Or just the ink?

    Actually the trock is to put in something real in those 3 little lines...sometimes a bit of depth or truth

    On a stormy night
    The moon still shines but wistful
    Candles look brighter



    and sometimes with a touch of humour


    Confucious once said
    If you not have girl you want
    Want girl that you have

    Friends abound
    The wine flows endless
    Why does the laughter sound hollow?

    ~

    Harsh words hurt the ears.
    But the weight of silence
    Is too much to carry.

    ~

    Trees make way for bright lights.
    Sweat overpowers the shade.
    Death draws a little closer.

    ~

    Gloomy night shattered by a phone call.
    Her voice
    Turned winter into spring.

    ~

    Heartbroken pleas
    Fell on deaf ears
    Even walls make better listeners.

    ~

    bad or verse?? ;) lemme know :beer:
