- Haiku X 118 - Fake and Truth -

Charmed by its beauty
                               Hear a sweet whisper of love
                                    Shiny fake diamonds

                                                  ~

                                     Pink lips temptations
                                 All these broken promises
                                          Perpetual lie

                                                  ~

                                   Truth like grains of sand
                                  Beyond golden cornfields
                                     Something very pure

Sometimes people see what they want based on their need, illusion can be a drunken deception

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, I really liked your three-linked Haikus here!! And the attached picture of the winking, pink-lipped frog is absolutely perfect. Your contrasting of fakery and the truth is perfect. A FAVE IN MY BOOK!! Cheers and Best from Ingrid and me!! Have a great weekend too!! Gary

Phonies are always revealed. Those pink froggie lips are not appealing to me but that's one of the cutest gifs I've ever seen. My fave was the third Haiku.

These are lovely Anne-Lise! There is a lot of counterfeit in the world today isn't there. It makes the genuine that much more valuable. - Dean

Good Morning Anne. I hope this day finds you well. Take a bow with your execution on the Haiku Suite. It flowed and read as one. The theme is timeless. May I say you also brought some fun besides beauty with your attached image. All is well within your entry in composition and construction. Have a wonderful day.

Some people like living in a fake sense of reality sadly enough. They really dont want to open their eyes. The Haiku is genuine and real, and its really great....Maria xxx

This was cute Anne-Lise. Though a little scary when I really think about it. But wonderfully written.
