5-7-5 Poems


These are not technically Haikus but along that line.


So here are my three 
5-7-5 poems for you
to read and critique:



Loneliness

loneliness, a leaf
falls softly to the ground and
nobody sees it.


Surrender

Three daughters, one wife
my life is a tightrope of
calm apologies.

  3. I loved all three of these poems-but Surrender made me smile because of it's perfection! I am also one of three sisters, so along with my mom, my dad was outnumbered! Now I have my own daughter-so the odds are still slightly stacked against my husband:)

    These were so very good-all of them!
