Beautiful Scars Poet Haiku

Haiku On My Family

Second Chance May 2016
Sponsor: Eve Roper


five generations
   connected to my grandpa
      kindred forefather

parents united
    unto them came four children
      love to go around

mother faced cancer
   a dear lady, my angel
      adulthood so strong

adoring siblings
   warmhearted and devoted
     affections of blood

money not vital
   wealthy in rich loyalty
      assets of true faith

our childhood dog Bo
   my sweet Golden Retriever
      my canine best bud

united as one
   roots form a family tree
     belovedly linked

Vladislav Raven May 1, 2016 at 1:26 PM Hi Luloo, i decided again today my first write would be a Haiku and i am glad i did. Roots indeed form a family tree and they bring forth thoughts of a beautiful Haiku. This group of Haiku really sing and paint such a beautiful canvas of family. A creative write on the theme Luloo. Wishing you good luck for the contest. This is a seven and a fave. An excellent write. Hugs....Mike. XX Beautiful Scars May 1, 2016 at 9:00 PM thank you so much Mike! :)-luloo
