HAIKU Poem: Haikus, by Justin W. Parks

In limitless time
Wander endless days and nights
I am a drifter
–
In a dark era
All is lost and forgotten
Hope will be your light
–
King of no kingdom
A hero unknown to all
His eyes show the truth
–
The wind rises up
Trees dance and sway in the breeze
This land is alive
–
She waits by the lake
A promise I made to her
We will meet again
–
A chill in the air
Leaves change color as they die
Fall has come again
–
The flame burns brightly
Creation through destruction
Iron becomes steel
–
You cannot go back
Unable to move forward
Trapped by the present
–
Star falls from the sky
Amazing for the moment
Never seen again
–
Cherry blossoms fall
Float along the gentle stream
Away to new lands
–
Small seed in the ground
Wandering in the darkness
Climbs toward the light
–
Count the syllables
Trim away unneeded words
To write a haiku
