Bumble bee, let's play
Flying flower to flower
But today, don't sting
Pretty white liar
Got burned on a house of cards
She will survive it
You ring the church's bells
I'll get hold of a priest
Married we will be
The dog is asleep
Has taken over the bed
Dreaming of flowers
Woke up this morning
Going to the city--
Hoping to find you
Goofing with a friend
With cigarettes and booze
Hope to die very soon
Great lessons and intricacies of life are wonderfully depicted in these lovely haikus. Beautifully crafted.
I agree with Richard and Asim. These are all very good and each could stand on its own.. Great work!
Every single haiku stands on its own and it has a complete story in it. Bumble bees with a purpose flying over the house of cards and beginning of new chapter in life with new morning and towards the end enticing like sunset, AWESOME 5*****
Six extraordinary haikus! Absolutely magnificent! LeeAnn, just wondering why you chose to include all of them in one poem. Instead of,6 separate poems. Each one is a winner!
