James Kelley Poet Haiku

Gulf of Mexico Haiku Collection

Even silence has

its charm entangled in the

calm shores of the Gulf.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Waiting for the turn

of a creeping wind’s conquer;

boarding up my heart.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - 

I need not see you

pier, nor fickle doldrum’s haste

my bones feel what’s coming.

Paul Callus March 5, 2014 at 6:07 AM Well done. I love haiku. James Kelley March 5, 2014 at 6:14 AM I've only recently delved into the world of haiku. I always said that I hated any sort of rules/restraint in my poetry. However, lately I've written quite a few and I'm having fun with it. Glad you like them. Thanks for commenting!
