~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

*It's not new but I posted it anyway. Just P.M. me and let me know if I need to change it.

Hmm... I'll let it slide for now :)

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

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.

That makes 3!

Spring;nature's long march.
Thunderous raining missiles;
falls yearning assault.

3 and 1 makes 4.

3 more please! Good job so far guys.

Naturally Pure

Nature joyfully springs,

in innocent hearts.

A Wind Full of Dreams

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

No worries, Joe & Britt! Thanks for participating.
