    ~My Frozen Demise~

    Ice cold fingers grasp
    At my throat; waiting to watch
    Me wither and die.

    Butterfly
    -by Spirit

    Fly butterfly soar
    Throughout the growing forest
    Away from hatred

    Is Haiku Series okay for this contest or just a Haiku?

  • silvershoes

    I would rather stick to three liners for this contest.
    And new poems.

    It may take a while to reach the desired 7 haikus from 7 different poets, but there's something to be said for patience and principle.

    A Wind Full of Dreams

    A white bird dances.
    Cascading beauty, spreading
    Dreams across the wind.

    Truthfully I feel honored, yet out of my league. I can only say thank you.

    No worries, Joe & Britt! Thanks for participating.
    That Would Be Telling, trust me, we've all done it (many times). It happens. It's really a great little poem, I loved the concept!
    Jacob, no way are you out of your league. Definitely a great haiku. Can't wait to read more of your work.

    For now I'm going to bed, gang. Will RRC tomorrow.
