Haiku - Bashful

~   daylight... due her nap -


               kissed the bashful sea's rough cheek... 


                              as he blushed crimson   ~

this is how I like to write mine too, Gregory. Line did a blog recently that said peronifiction is strongly frowned on by the "IT" people who do KU. I beg to differ with MY opinion. For me, this is one of the best on the list. Congrats for your win.

I wholeheartedly agree, Andrea ... Haiku has had countless variations and adaptations over the centuries, and I find beauty and substance in all of them. To me poetry is about emotion and enjoyment, and to put strict rules and guidelines on structure is putting restrictions on creativity and beauty. I respect the traditionalist views, I just happen to not agree with them. Let poetry find its own way, and let the soul speak its own language ... ENCOURAGE creativity and art, don't limit or restrict it. Thank you, Friend! :-) <3

Your poems, Greg, often suggest a remarkable 'classical' sense of nature, beauty, and our place in this world, so finely done--congrats!
