The snow falls and melts
Cold, white, flaky, beautiful
Landing on the ground.

Day or night, the same
When you gone, the leave falls

my nightmares are haunting me
telling me, don't fall.

The red blossom bends
and drips its dew to the ground.

In The Morning

Early morning and sunny day
flowers wake up to sing and dance
water lazy sleeping on grass

I think that these haikus are fun to read and it can express so many things in a short amount of words!

Read all the pages inside
Bored out of my mind

fingers are cold around me
going through my hair
