Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 114 - Old Beauty -

Mirror of the past
                                Appreciate the beauty
                                   History's language


                                   Ancient adventure
                                 Personality and style
                                  Forgotten summer


                                    A soul of the time
                            Do not need makeup to glow
                                  Threatened by decay


                                  Dark clouds in the sky
                           Tears are washed away by rain
                               Grief, pain, loss and love

John Michaels June 5, 2017 at 2:10 AM Great string of Haiku, Anne-Lise. I'm reminded of a Hollywood starlet, growing old gracefully but still retaining her alluring beauty. All the best, John.

Maria Williams June 2, 2017 at 8:32 AM A wonderful Haiku set Anne-Lise. I love the description you have woven into the set - It makes me think of the memories someone had about the vintage vehicle in it's glory days now abandoned - does the former owner think about at all? I love your third set about not needing make up - Your picture says it all - the rain clouds to wash the sadness away. Maria xx Anne-Lise Andresen June 2, 2017 at 12:06 PM - How many children do you think, had to share one bed in this little house, Maria - Many thanks for your lovely comments and support :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Vladislav Raven June 1, 2017 at 4:11 PM I agree totally with Jo. Hi Anne-Lise, this form seems to sing when your words flow into it. A set of Haiku's that encompass your subject, giving it life. So much expressed in so few words. You know that this set of Haiku has to be a fave. This form sings when coming from your pen. Excellent as always Anne-Lise. Hugs....Mike.
