My first ones:
PEACEFUL HURRICANE
my skin – your valley
lips mark their territory
sensual earthquakes
SERENDIPITY
the hues of your heart
melt into my horizon
surrender awaits
SOUL BOND
earth, water, fire, air
you, me, we, eternally
some things never change
NIRVANA
dripping divine love
eyes closed, tasting her passion
drunk on morning dew
SPRING
migrant birds return
i am still in the same place
lost my direction
… and a bonus haiku 🙂
YOU :))
indescribable
OR too many syllables
damn fucking haikus
****
Hey! I am so sorry for the absence.
Here are some random haikus. I’ve never written them before, but I was encouraged to try. I wrote approximately 30 “heart haikus”, but I’m not satisfied with them. I turned old notes into haikus and wrote a few in one sitting. Well, since “write like no one is reading” IS my motto for the year, I decided to post a few anyway. I enjoy reading haikus, but I didn’t enjoy writing them. lol. Ok, once I stopped taking it so seriously – it was fun … kind of. :)) Counting syllables was a challenge for a Finnish girl though. 🙂 I may have messed up with some words, but at least I tried.
Hope you all have a beautiful and inspiring weekend,
– Noora

I haven’t been doing them recently. Too busy with work & life. 😦
(Also having difficulty trying to force Supergirl into one. I don’t think she likes haiku either… or maybe she just hasn’t forgiven me for the first one.)
Nirvana’s my favourite also.
