“Unbidden”

Unbidden

Unbidden, Spring blooms, /

poking through neglect and pain, /

yellow and graceful.

East

Over in the East, /

burning below night’s pains, /

rises dawn’s searching flame.

Haiku and photo: “Smudge”

Smudge

Merry Christmas smudged /

over smiles and tears; charting /

its own way through pain.

Rebirth

Life is born in pain /

Reborn within each crisis. /

Love anew again.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Drops”

Dew drops and rain drops /

And tears falling from my eyes /

Renewal and pain.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pain”

Pain, that subtle beast, /
dances across memories, /
clutching time’s embrace.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Defined”

Love is not defined /

except by the open heart /

and pain at parting.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pain”

Pain is a song /

whose melody is as true /

as its words are inadequate.

[Editor’s note: a modified haiku structure, varying a little from the 5 syllable, 7 syllable, 5 syllable structure. Still, I believe it carries the spirit of a haiku.]
