Rhyming Haiku

Rippling brook rushes
Swollen with spring rain gushes..
Eddie place bulrushes

Alligator suns
Basking her tough hide, sun buns..
Hippo destroys fun

Spring turns winter's tide
Nature comes quickly alive..
Bees buzz hopes  for bride

I usually don't like the Haiku form too much but I did enjoy this one. Your use of rhyme and your descriptive words made the scene easy to picture sara

In reply to your reply, first of all i think eveybody is guilly of murder in the mind even you, and you can't deny that you haven't felt like that in your earlier years or a least thought about it to be a least truhtful eh? Secondly I think you have a distorted view of what any of my poetry talks about you always seem to get the wrong impression of my words which lead me to believe you read but never understand, spend sometime intepreting correctly before you ralley at the poolpit

Smile ~ i love the touch of humour mixed amid the more serious i might say reflections along with the incorporation of nature itself which in turn makes this a very lovely layered poetic canvas my dear and, 'thank you,' for stopping by and blessing my humble self with, "Your Beauties," precious presense and kind com ~ love, Always, christopher ~

in reply to your reply there is no such thing as doing wrong or right only what we as humanity can asses in our own psyche, besides there are much worser thing u and i can agree on besides a plant that grows from the earth
