Reflections (assorted haikus)



---these aren't all of them
I will constantly add more
this is a haiku ; ) ---

*********************

the sky was so blue
the ocean got jealous and
imitated it

**************

red is a color
just like brown or green or blue
black is all the hues

when mixed with some light
and then stirred with emotion
it's a work of art

****************

falling fast asleep
the rain fell along with me
ushering in dreams

my head is spinning
the earth spins along with me
into the blackness

as I lay dreaming
the world dreamed along with me
and we all found peace

****************

why don't we lie down
and listen to the silence
but soak up the sound

****************

enveloping me
the giant wave curled, crashing
is all I could hear

********
trusty fireflies
will take over when the stars
are hidden by clouds

Hey, some of these aren't that great but what the heck. I just like writing how I feel in the moment so some of my poems might be confusing because I was confused in that moment. Maybe thats why I wanted to write a poem, to sort out my thoughts. Anyway, just read them and hopefully just one of them will bring you some kind of joy, or make you feel some kind of connection. Peace.>>>I also do star photography - probably why space works its way into a lot of my writing. http://mcb-photography.blogspot.com/ more…
