Mimi-Mona Poetry: Today's Haiku

Haiku (Hokku)
It's a Japanese verse form
of three unrhyming lines
in five, seven, and five

syllables that creates a

single, memorable image.

I need more coffee

The dogs woke me up early

Guess I’ll write or paint

Dogs are like children;

They sleep and I grab a book.

Osmosis reading.

Mimi-Mona Poetry: Don't

For love to become something great, you have to be willing to commit to what it takes to make it great, and that means opening up your heart to someone to love and not allowing fear to keep you from committing to the journey.

Don’t look up;

you don’t want to see

those tall buildings

scraping the sky

Don’t be sad

because the sky’s blue;

I’ll be your sunny smile

Please don’t you cry

and make it rain

unless you want

our love to grow

Don’t get lost in me;

it’s too much

like being found

Don’t tear down

my secret walls

with your strong hands;

it will set my love free

Don’t let our fireworks

be over; just know

you are safe with me

Don’t quell your desire

for me unless you want

to try to forget

how tumultuous

our love truly is;

can you? I can’t

Don’t look down;

you don’t want to see

all the sadness

we have buried
