Girl with Flowers

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida

Your eyes beguile me

promises beyond belief

flowers to be picked

Going into town

seeing family and friends

Regurgitate news

Just as the forest

I am refreshed by new snow

Cloaked with a promise

FREE

She has escaped bonds

she is flying in the clouds

Momentarily

Freedom comes after

30 days with Haiku muse

strange bedfellow

This has been a perfect month of challenges. I have enjoyed it very much. The writing but also the reading of so many wonderful creative haiku. Thank you all so much for commenting on my contributions. I appreciate you stopping by. Thank you, Leo, for hosting. Until the next time,,,,,,

She has all the answers

and will always prove you wrong

Choose your battlefield

Battle fields abound

protagonists claim their truths

Futility reigns

You are holding me

and gently move me in tune

Our favourite song

Our relationship

paper boat on a smooth sea

Beware the waves

Under the covers

thighs touch occasionally

Unconscious knowing
