METAMORPHOSIS (Haiku)
Metamorphosis
exposing a bleeding heart
becoming undone
Life has a rhythm
lies within the rules of hope
no-one understands
Uncover the darkness
so angelic and sanguine
blazing fire within

Congrats on the award, Red…it’s certainly well deserved. 🙂
Now, for the Haiku…Wonderful examples…I know how difficult the form can be, and how hard you worked on these…Well written, and well done, my dearest friend. And, of course, another trifecta of image,poem, and music 🙂

Lovely verse– and the image is riveting. Do you create your images? The graphics are so beautiful and dramatic!

September 17, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Thanks my friend, I play a lot with images in Photoshop but also have a girlfriend that is a graphic designer, that makes it easier I guess but it’s always more intense combining the image and video than actually writing the poem!! And it has to be dramatic….won’t be happy otherwise!! Crazy me 🙂 🙂 xxx Hugs xxx
September 17, 2010 at 7:55 am
An exceptional poem and image…together they create a power message.
September 17, 2010 at 12:51 pm
