A Little Taste of Haiku – LEAVES TURNING

My kids and I were talking last night about poetry
and they urged me to try writing some Haiku, so here is one beginning sample
about my favorite season:

Pumpkins on the porch

       Pies baking in the oven

           Raindrops lightly fall

ONLY

In my own little world
Is where I’ll be
In my own little world
For no one to see
Nothing can hurt me
No words to insult me
Only my hands hold the key

In my own little world
Is where I’ll be
In my own little world
For no one to see
No one to love me
No words to encourage me
In my own little world
There is no “we”

In my own little world
There’s no one to miss me
They don’t even know I’m away
My heart breaks, but I’ll take time to pray
Only me, in my little hideaway
