Misty Lake (Haiku)

by Mr. Darcy   Dec 28, 2008


Grey ominous mist
hangs low o'er murky waters
feel those needles spite.

    This is a really brooding and powerful piece, Michael. Beautifully written, as usual.

    Lovely haiku/great metaphors....dark and imaginative...I see the murky waters of memory that stab as the needles of despair hang over the frozen heart....my take at least.

    I've enjoyed reading several of your formed poems! Take care...Debbie

    Wow! this is wonderful.
    It tottally gives a misty feeling like the tittle says, and through those lines I could clearly imagine the lake, *shivers* the last line was a great way to end it I can see the needles of frozen ice beneath the surface twinkling with beauty and madness luring bodies closer to take their life away.

    When done correctly a haiku will leave a vivid impression upon the readers mind. You have done just that with little words.

    The magic of a haiku is that the reader can take it as an nature poem or let the mind interpret as an psychological release. Either way the words that you have penned are lovely and leave the reader breathless.

    Well done.
