About This Poem

Hurts so good

Would I lie to you...
love is like a butterfly
singing in the rain.

    This is nowhere as lengthy as John Cougar Mellencamp's hit song with the same title, but it is a great haiku nevertheless.

    What a beauty and depth you have revealed in these few words Harry. It's a Gem created by you. A matchless piece of creative Haiku. It goes in my favorite list and thanks my good wishes for your contest entry my friend and thank you for your precious words on my Prayer Poem. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra... Harry Horsman
