Richard Lamoureux Poet Haiku

Haiku Compilation

dust laden kids toys
in a box in the attic
when will they come down?

a tiny heart beats
pain and joy are intertwined
dusted teddy waits




Top Haiku question Timothy Hicks

Bottom Haiku conclusion Richard Lamoureux

Poem the result of my asking about a form that Tim had written.

Michael Ainsley May 16, 2013 at 3:22 PM The dust and the Teddy Bear are like The Wind And The Lion . Love the image in the theater of the mind. The attic and the basement are places where dreams go to die or sometimes come back to life. Nice read thank you Richard. Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2013 at 5:06 PM Thanks Michael, each time I see your avatar I think of a young Rod Stewart.

Matthew Anish May 12, 2013 at 12:46 PM Congratulations to both of you on your fine haikus. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2013 at 5:05 PM Thanks Matthew. You have the same name as my son. Your name means gift from God.

Andrea Dietrich May 12, 2013 at 12:09 AM a touching one this is. And a really nice form. Richard Lamoureux May 12, 2013 at 6:46 AM Thanks Andrea

Donna Jones May 11, 2013 at 8:14 PM These are very good Richard ....enjoyed them a lot... Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 8:24 PM Thanks Donna I hope you have a special day tomorrow.

Eileen Manassian May 11, 2013 at 7:26 PM Hope teddy gets lots of hugs! Good job you two! Don't laugh, but I still have a teddy a friend gave to me when I was in the States....when I'm awfully lonely or sad...(with my daughter away and hubby traveling it happens)...teddy shares my bed. :) Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 8:25 PM I never had a teddy bear, I had a big stuffed dog I called bully.

Timothy Hicks May 11, 2013 at 3:48 PM This is fun and I think it turned out great :) The 'tiny heart beat' was a nice touch. Now that I've read this all the way through I halfway regret putting the word "kids" in there. Isn't it obvious toys are for kids? Lol... I'll let you know when I come up with something for the second mondo! Eileen Manassian May 11, 2013 at 7:23 PM Naughty Richard! ;) Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 3:53 PM Adults have toys as well but that may be for a different audiance, *lol* Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 3:52 PM so glad you like it, it was fun.

Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 3:22 PM Thanks Freddie

Poet Destroyer A May 11, 2013 at 11:48 AM I like the haiku Richard, I don't like storing toys. I don't think the dust will do them any good... However, i hope teddy falls into the arms of a loving child.. a good home, a home that will not store him away... Linda Richard Lamoureux May 11, 2013 at 11:53 AM I agree we should take them out so that we are the benificiaries of all those smiles. As I read this poem I now realize it can be taken more than one way. I hope it is not a source of pain as that would be my last intention.
