Haiku Six

I find your name rolling across my tongue but you never come true days of old gone words dripped on pages and I read them still bees are buzzing with bliss honey drips from tongue buckets filled with rum eyes of blue you are so true I'm still leaving you you call my name I'm going the opposite way I just don't have time for you today we were the best of friends it was the best of times then love got in the way I wrote these "all" in 2011, I know they're not the 5 - 7 - 5, but here I am posting.

Debbie, sometimes I believe we let form limit our emotion. We strain to meet the rules and somehow lose the core intent of the verse..... I loved it and never counted any syllables at all.... Jake

Very unique; penned with much emotion. I like how it ended. The 3rd one is just sublime! -- Sean

What I think you have said here is that time and love have so many different outcomes. The license you have taken with the 5-7-5 only adds to the setting. So you are a free spirit. Me--I have decided to stick to one form just for the sake of ease and image. You have my admiration and respect for all that you do with words. I do so enjoy looking at your writing. You are so cool!

Haikus don't have to be 5 7 5 - they can be different because the 5 7 5 relates to an Asian form. Love gets in the way of a lot of things. Stimulating work here! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Expressive work...Enjoyed reading this one today..Thanks for stopping by ..There are two ways to write ABC form under that form on this site..One is much easier than the other...Cyndi that sponsored the contest required couplets about topics listed with a couplet at the end summarizing the poem..So it was hard..I ran the idea over and over in my thoughts for days and figured that the contest was closed then started writing ..I then looked and the contest wasn't closed so I entered..Sara
