A Winged Poet

Your voice filled the air

Like the sweetest summer song,

Little nightingale.


Welcome again @lyxng... I enjoyed this poem, so nice
With the flying Nightingale.

Blooming dream

Wake up in the night,
butterflies whirl inside,
silence soft as air

Butterflies

Welcome... you are the first today @ciarmolimaro.
Very nice poem... I love the butterflies image.
Good Luck.

Pest!

a blood curdling sight!
eliminate you, I might,
lest you leave me be.

Welcome... @jamesanity06 a nice poem about the pest.
Good Luck

Hey @moonleesteem and @geke. Thanks so much for keeping this Haiku contest going. Before October of this year, I had never tried this writing style. This is a fun way to try to expand. Here is my latest submission.

Indiscretion Pass

Green eyes accuse me.
I dared to pet another.
Stroke. "Purr!" Forgiven.

Welcome... @trishlarimer cool Haiku and great poem
Even animals get jealous. Good Luck

The more books I read
The smarter I will become
But with the right books!

Headnote: A spider was crawling on my floor. My wife is scared of spiders

careful friend spider
she'll crush you if she sees you
better come this way
