So we can all grow together...
The Walk
Beneath the pale orb,
ice breaks under cold footfalls.
Sidewalks crack like glass.
Welcome @acolucky... very nice winter poem. I enjoyed it.
Good Luck
Love's Beautiful
It was dark inside
Suddenly love lit the night
Two birds in heaven

Good Luck
That means a lot! Love lots!
My 2nd entry:
Unnatural
Your breasts are lovely,
They are plump and soft to touch.

River of consciousness
Go bask in thy thoughts
Swim in your own consciousness
Only to find peace

Haiku need not be
Five-seven-five anymore
They are breaking free
Hey cool contest :) most haiku written nowadays no longer follow this strict formatting though. Modern haiku are freestyle! Just a thought ;)
Welcome, @holothewise great freestyle poem, I liked it.
I like it too that’s there are many forms of Haikus, pick what style suits you... they are all fun to write.
Good Luck
"Say no to Drugs"
Drugs are for the fools,
You really want to be cool?
My friend, go to school.

Hi @moonleesteem. I wrote this poem two weeks ago and I am entering it into your contest.
It reminds me of Christmas time and the lights. By the way happy holidays
A Mother’s Love
She kissed her son's cheek
And the whole room had lit up
With love and... bright Stars
Welcome, @mayliberty
A mothers love is very spiritual... super images, I enjoyed it.
Good Luck 🍀
