"Moth" 

The night shivers out
Hymns upon lonely gray wings 
They drift like a sigh 

     REAPING SEX  a simple note

If you wink an eye
At Fame’s restless lonely mate—
Prepare for a storm

GARDEN

Two haiku after a painting by Russell Gordon

flowering dogwood
perched and pert, a tanager
harkens to the wind

flowering dogwood
perched and pert, just listening
scarlet tanager
………………………………..

this plaster statue
she’s naked, white and demure
looking at a rose

her round, yellow hat
casts a shadow as she picks
transformation bloom

all is wet and wild
garden cowed by wind and rain
tortoise pokes its head


Repost

summer’s backward glance
reluctant to say adieu
one lonely white rose

HAIKU

summer’s backward glance
reluctant to say adieu 
one lonely white rose

1#
Brewed tea
Wife and myself
Nothing between us
2#
He was metamorphosed 
Into a frog
When his wife had left him
3#
I needed
A lonely woman
Thousand years back
4#
She shivered
In yellow sun
Struck by her coyness
5#
God travels
With three suitcases
One for me
6#
I kissed
Her frostiness 
And my lips turned icebergs
7#
The bed
Gets embarrassed
At our nakedness
8#
Her hands
Stopped me
To pick evenings
9#
We two rested
In a cave of Kundalini
Behind the waterfall
10#
The alien woman 
Travelled six moons
To deliver her baby in a burial ground 
11#
An eagle swoops
On a field –mouse
Tables of wedding
12#
The woman kissed me
I felt her hollow ribs
As if in a spring dream
13#
The woman’s hair
Struck by a gale
Made waterfalls
14#
My wife locked
Me one fine evening
In my neighbour’s hole
15#
The rats are away
When mice take in
My wife’s clammy face
16#
The summer rain
In exasperation
Took wings to raid the moon
17#
Lolo my wife
Her green sleek steps
Thundered an innocent fly
18#
In the dead of night
God made two wives
One for me one for my neighbour
19#
My neighbour’s wife
Delivered a child
When I was asleep
20#
The woman said goodbye
And I took a fish for dinner
I mistook it for my wife
21#
My wife is a canvas
Where I paint
My forebodings
22#
A painter’s apprentice
In sheer foolishness
daubed in red my wife’s rear-view
23#
A squirrel saw my wife
And in haste
Lost her guava 
24#
I was caught in neighbour’s bedroom
By my wife last summer
I lost my glasses
25#
A wolf entered the graveyard 
Unannounced
And annoyed my wife
26#
Sarah my wife
Lumbering
Dizzy commuters
27#
Sarah wed me
And in brief forgetfulness
Greeted my neighbour
28#
A tiger ate Sarah my wife
It happened by accident
The tiger knows
29#
Morning bell
Wake up call
I want to sleep
30#
Pola my pet fly
Fouled things up
She ate my wife’s breakfast
31#
My dog Pintu
Hydrophobia
I set him free on my wife’s posterior
32#
Eons ago a butterfly
Gave birth to my wife
Now, a caterpillar 
33#
A hard slap
Stammering 
Hurricane Sarah will win 
34#
You have gathered enough winters 
Woman sighs
Leave one for me
35#
The woman flapped her wings
To clouded mountaintops
Silky as white

INNER AND OUTER

when being inside
not sitting out  -   looking in
what a difference!

birth from the middle
what a struggle     what bawling
on the loss of warmth

see the burning bush
marvel at what is inside
lifetime of searching

view of a manger
with mother and babe inside
behold!     the star

a lonely moment
left out of everything
what is life about?

Dave Austin

ebb tide in its wake 
broken shells in disarray
on a lonely shore

Living lonely lives,
Cowboys are known for riding
Into the sunsets

To all who have been touched by Alzheimer -- To the weary travelers – take heart – love still abounds

David Meade

Miss Foxy and Hound 

The fox senses spring,
The hound is too tired to fight,
Conflict delayed, friends.

The hound hides in wait,
How smart are you, Miss Foxy?
Nature in action.

The fox loves to play,
The hound takes his role to heart,
Frustration sets in.

Lone opossum roams in.
The Hound comes to Foxy’s aid,
It’s complicated.

Cherry Blossoms bloom,
Foxy outsmarts Hound again,
The Hound likes his friend.

Autumn winds blowing.
They both know their time grows short,
Hound will miss Foxy.

Winter winds bite deep.
Foxy thinks of Hound, fondly.
It’s a lonely time.

The circle of life,
‘Twas just a matter of time,
The reaper commeth.

Spring winds blow, sadly,
Foxy searches for her friend,
Silence all around.

Miss Foxy now knows,
“My foe is gone!”, with a tear,
I will miss you, Hound.

keep me from crying
simply hold my lonely hand
please stay forever

A small lonely boat
Slowly floating in a lake
Goes to my hometown.

                 Girl in red, a dress
                 Pleated down to her knees, skips 
                 Down the lonely street.

                 Man in black beret
                 Sunshades set on face, striding
                 Down the narrow street.

                 Girl turns, sees this chap
                 Hurries her steps, man does so too
                 Girl runs, man runs too
  
                   

A lonely man
Without rhythm 
A doomed man

Gulf breeze chime my chimes
What I say here pass it on
Spring fling beckoning.

Infatuation -
A cat chases its own tail
Love begins at home.

Elusive wind blows
Bliss is like falling in love
I claim nostalgia.

Wrapped kisses with rose
A lonely hunter shivers 
Love last a life time.

*

Silent moth, lonely 
Spirit, your dark beauty screams
Trapped under cat’s paw.

HAIKU - AUTUMN BREEZE


Soft breeze of autumn
blushing play of falling leaves
a lonely girl cries

T.J Grén

Sparks fly, flames ignite
intoxicated passion
follies of greenness.

Haste vows in wishes
rapid change adaptation
birth of an angel.

Smoldered brawl outburst
pen scribbles by gavel's call
Fire sizzles then drown.

Comes winter anew
tears of the lonely angel
token of regret

Dovey Annie


(This is my first time writing a Haiku poemIt is raw and lack shine, but hope you guys will enjoy.)

THE HEALING SUN


Painful long night passed
Tears on pillow ran many
Dreams forgot to come

Sun came through window
Found lonely suffering heart
Healing wound at once!

cold, lonely mountain
kissed by calm crystal waters
soul mates forever

long, pale, soft white necks
tantalizing blue blue eyes
giggling joy smiles

sent of the green sea
revives the lonely grey souls
cuddles endlessly

we lying next to us
kindness, tenderness, warmness
embracing lovers

an entwined union
two bodies converted one
heartfelt memories

(Haiku)

empty spot on bed
with TV remote in hand
she sprawls across it

(Limerick)

He used to steal every top sheet
and the blankets that covered her feet.
But now that he’s gone,
all the covers stay on.
Even sleeping, she now finds life sweet!

(Couplet)

Divorce might leave a gal lonely and poor.
At least, she won’t be aroused by a snore.


For P.D.'s Divorce Club Contest

single gull struts sand

outcast from the feathered flock --

     lonely fate endured





* For Rick's Nature Haiku contest

Wind howling forlorn
thundering through the tree tops
branches crashing down



Snow swirling, whirling
coating all in pristine white
like diamonds glinting



Hear the lonely shrieks          
as seagulls twist and hover
over the fishing boats


written 08/12/2013

I twelve brother ten
  lonely tear drops hot closet
             dad gone mother alone

Even together
Fallen Angels you and me
feel so lonely now

                LONELY ALASKA APRIL NIGHT


                   Snow flakes dodge
             
                   Unrequited love beam

                   Street light's kiss



Victoria Anderson-Throop

By the wayside
A story-teller charms;
Exquisite tale of old

~~~~~~~~~


Path of uncertainty
Change springs a cast;
Innovative ideas hurl

~~~~~~~~~


Loiter and linger
Upon these lonely shores;
Waves crash the beach

~~~~~~~~~


Listen for a glimpse
From unknown scenes;
Mellow music hints

~~~~~~~~~


Heavy mall traffic
Sea of faces swirling;
Waiting the sales kill

~~~~~~~~~


Bus number 197
Double decker sighted;
Bound for Alexandra Village

~~~~~~~~~


Bazaar book stall
Old leftover tomes;
Weathered lessons await

~~~~~~~~~~


Talk of war again
Outbreaks somewhere again;
Spirits rebellious

~~~~~~~~~


This weary world riddled
Such fiery war-mongering;
Profit for the arms trade

~~~~~~~~~


If you must ask
You do not know;
Poetry wears intent well

~~~~~~~~~


Dreamy dispositions
Watch the falling rain;
Cold clearance coming

The cave underground
Chamber of darkness musk damp
Secure place__bat's home

Cave inside fireglow
Outward facing light Aspens
Golden yellow hair

Cave fear slow echo
Hollow blank lonely scarey
Empty dreams no hope

                                              cool breeze
                                                   silent valley
                                                           Lonely flower

Dog sits on floor,
Hairy dog sits on floor,
Cat sleeps on floor...

I like drinking cola,
It makes me go very hyper,
It is very funny...

Cardigens and teeth,
Makes a granny very very sweet,
Thay always scare me...

The green bin with bag,
Sat lonely on the carpet,
In the English room...

lost soulswhispering

nobody knows the real me , a poetas i am wandering through the park 
alone in the darki feel lonely in some wayeven tho my friends are there for me no 
matter whati feel "invisible"

A dog sleeping
Besides this empty avenue,
We are so lonely together.

sunset spins sad sky 
in raging red and crimson 
the
fireball waves goodbye 

birds fly to their nest 
a tiresome day ends at dusk 
and
night fills with moonlight

smiling stars appear  
nude night dresses in calmness  
while
wind mummers to moon

new day born at dawn 
sunshine brightens lonely sky
and
new hopes come to life

The Lone Seagull

Lone Seagull flying
gliding in the gentle wind
on a lonely night

With only the moon
to light his path as he flies
in search of the truth

How piteous life is
to quarrel for a morsel
when there's other way

In his solitude
he discovered his purpose
there is more to life

It's a lonely path
but one he chose to take risk
to test his limits

Gulls are born to fly
to soar high and touch heaven
where real freedom lies



This poem was inspired by the Novel of Richard Bach "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull"

On the Lonely Hill
Many come, often so sad
Side by side, still alone.

love is in the air
gifts of love seen everywhere
lonely heart sulking


a heart beating fast
wishing for a valentine
tears line lonely eyes


This day of love
Gave me scary wounds
I just ask you, why me? 




for pd's contest

A lonely tree sits
branches dancing in the wind
shivers in the cold.

the lonely willow
in the middle of the lawn
absence of children

flight of seeds
blown to a child's joy
dandelion

to the sun
roses bloom open
eyes blink tears

The Purple Mountains;
Majestically watching;
"FOREVER Love", Grow

The Orange Marigolds,
Creativity; Passion
For a long lost LOVE

The Brown dirt of Earth
Covers the lonely casket
of a Broken Heart

A Black moonless night
Inhales the darkness of death
I LOVE YOU LENORE   

ONE NIGHT STAND
    by Victoria Anderson-Throop

Indigo twilight ballads
Entice lonely hearts
To stray into the darkness

Dim as lonely shades,
Hidden thoughts of glory come,
Spinning our egos.

Floating beyond clouds, moon:
midnight walker's lonely mate
- chilling silence haunts

     Blindly running down the road, misted by the coming storms

     Standing lonely in the room surrounded by the family pictures

     Tomorrow's past today and now you're all my yesterday's......

crowning the top
of a lonely Cyprus tree
a Bald Eagle nest

Four Snowflakes
 
One little snowflake    
hits the river so gently    
then gone forever.
 
One lonely snowflake
descends into the river
nevermore to roam.
 
One cold white snowflake
comes flying in the windstorm
adding to the load.
 
The last snowflake falls    
making chills that last too long    
settling on his grave.

The lush green foliage,
Palm trees waving in the wind
On a lonely beach.

Rustic saint had wept
Only loved the lonely bird,
Who flew to Heaven

Watch the moon rise
Over the trees;
That mystic pearl

~~~~~~~~~


Here by this bench
Sad notes incline;
A lonely face

~~~~~~~~~


A fat cat sits
By concrete wall;
Stares blankly

~~~~~~~~~


Moonlight tonight
Feel mystic glow;
Romantic feel

~~~~~~~~~


Lunatic wiles
Evening interlude;
Awakening charms

~~~~~~~~~


Evening news flash
Terrible tragedy;
Tianjin explosion

~~~~~~~~~


Tons of chemicals
Sodium cyanide;
Death proliferates

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper sells
Tales of destruction;
Death toll rises

~~~~~~~~~


Here we go
Crisscross each to each;
Global village song

~~~~~~~~~


Poetry slam
Word offerings;
Rude spectacle

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of empty
Breeze through fingers;
A void speaks

~~~~~~~~~
