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. -James Kelley 2014 All rights reserved.

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!
