HAIKU’S
Dry tears on my cheeks
spring blossoms new beginnings
on paper I will bleed
Gentle spring rain
In silence and memories
Love requires more

Sipping iced tea and reading Haiku poetry by Amanda. Your words are three dimensional and images created inspire one’s longing for love and devotion. You are an artist in Haiku too.

Iced tea…now you make my mouth water!!! Love you Carol 🙂 x

“on paper I will bleed” From a poet and writer this is not only apt, it is stunningly true. The dry tears, metaphor for pre-writing thought, was wonderful. Our craft is our passion and our passion is our art and craft. Beautiful images and words – I love this!
September 7, 2010 at 4:40 am
Our line…our craft is our passion nd our passion is our art and craft…is imprinted in my mind!! I will remember that. Thanks Cindy. Much love xx

It seems too often that Love requires too much of one party or the other, but to me it’s worth everything. Nicely done.
September 7, 2010 at 4:52 am

I love haiku’s but the form is diffiult, and there are several different views over what is acceptable in English. Thanks for the reminder, time to try again with them.

Wow, the first one especially really struck a chord in my heart. Lovely.
Love does require more….I wish others understood.
I love haikus, but I am just not disciplined enough to write a meaningful one.
Love the image, goes very well with your post!
September 7, 2010 at 4:58 am
I share your sentiment, haikus does not come easy for me either but it’s fun trying!! Have a great week my friend xx

Thanks for another wonder.

September 7, 2010 at 3:59 pm
on paper I will bleed
that line gushes a poets soul! great haiku’s!
September 8, 2010 at 4:20 am
We writers all bleed on paper, don’t you think? Glad you liked it, don’t write Haiku’s often…still not all that comfortable doing them. Much love my friend x
September 8, 2010 at 6:44 am
nothing like spring to dry tears – as you say: “spring blossoms new beginnings” – and the tender voice and lyrics of Lionel Ritchie in the background
and bleeding on paper can be very healing too, I’ve found…
awesome post!
September 9, 2010 at 7:07 am
Hugs to you…and thanks xx
September 10, 2010 at 10:29 am
