Haiku - 22

 The year's end draws near /

Autumn leaves these trees threadbare /

Life's metaphor talks //

 5-7-5

Haiku a Japanese poetry format....classical based on 17 syllables in three lines 5-7-5 or 10 syllables in 3-4-3 format.

 By syllables in English based Haiku, we are talking of the syllables in each word...like Water is 2 sylabbles wa+ ter,  Harmony has 3 syllables har+mo+ny.

Some modern poets don't stick to syllable style.

May I??

What does this remind you of??....a past that is best stuck where it lies or a mirror image of your present?? Or a future warning to stay off muddy roads bereft of good samaritans??

 On a happier note, you can make a verse or tale of it...or vintage shaded to show off your photo editing skills.

BTW, sept 15 will be this blogger baby's first birthday...does it warrant a celebration?? maybe a trip round the sun??

Soft Addiction ?? Haiku - 18

 A Facebook game I was addicted to..  ;p

 Those hidden pleasures /

Surfacing at odd junctures /

Yearn for a bit more //

Angels

My nephews Sidartha And Akshay

Those sun kissed faces /

Joy overflows around twain* /

Birds chirp your sweet songs //

Hypnotic eyes seek /

Wisdom and action alike /

Content, seated now //

Life carefree, always /

Angelic devils of mine /

My shelters of love //

*n. an archaic word for two

 How can any verse and word be complete without my succour from darkness...my joie de vivre, my nephews Sid and Akki ?

Haiku - 17

Reflecting spirit /

Night rider streaks across sky /

Darkness flourishes //
