HAIKU - Early Years

Golden drops of sun-
Shine hit my face as they aim
For my long, lost soul.

***

As the skier skis,
He leaves a trail behind him
To show where he's been.

***

The candle flame swerves
As a breeze enters the room.
Why does it shiver?

***

A bird's pleasant song
Wakes me in the morning.
How I cherish it.

***

Snow jackets buttoned.
Why does the wind outside howl?
What is it scared of?

***

Dew drops are hanging
On a branch for their dear lives.
They're too young to die.

***

The old tree bends low.
It's branches reach out and down;
Soon, they'll touch the ground.

***

The creek runs smoothly
Meandering nowhere 't'all,
As it travels on.

***

The creek runs smoothly
bothering nothing at all,
As it travels on.

***

As the shadow moves,
It reveals hidden visions
That weren't there before.

***

A big ball of fur,
Motionless and so silent,
Suddenly she growls.

***

The songs are played low.
I lay beneath the star light
Thinking about life.

***

Where in the world can
One find the love that one seeks?
I won't be deterred.

***

Working into dark,
We slave and toil the hours gone
Too tired to see light.

***

The street lights grow dim-
The morning sun approaches
And chokes the night time.

***

You are a great friend.
May your eyes always smile and
Our friendship endure.

***

"It is always so,"
Said my mother just to me
Right before she smiled.

***

Someone spilled the beans
And told them all 'bout our trunk
'For we brought it home.

***

I would never want
That you would see me like this.
Where's the nearest hole?

***

I have forgotten
What your eyes looked like; the time
Has erased your sight.

***

We cannot spend time
Together for we still fight.
We can't get along.

***

Happy birthday, babe.
May your luck never run out,
May you smile today!

***

I'm thinking of you.
The way your eyes dance. The way
You smile at me. Yeah!

***

Can I take you home?
Would you spend the night with me?
No? Then, shall we dance?

***

It's raining outside.
The wind is blowing quite fast.
Reminds me of us.

***

How fast can you run?
Can you run as fast as me?
Then try and catch me.

***

Congratulations!
None could have done it better!
A job so well done!

***

I'm so proud of you!
You pulled it off so nicely.
What's your trade secret?

***

What is your secret?
How do you stay so slender?
Please, I have to know.

***

I'd like to know you.
Are you free to dine with me?
May I ring you up?

***

What is your major?
Where do you go for your lunch?
Mind if I join you?

***

You are not so smart!
I can always out think you,
So don't try so hard.

***

How can you love me?
You don't love your pet lizard.
You let it go.

***

It's so obvious.
It can't be any clearer.
Open up your eyes.

***

Let's get together.
Your place? Or my place? Or out?
I'll let you decide.
