Tears

Sad woman cries soft
Blue oceans of tears over
Lover no longer.

    you really are getting the hang of these haiku’s aren’t you? getting better and better…you may inspire me to have a go before too long :-)

    yes, i think i am getting the hang of it – at least a little. nowhere near evyl’s fuckyouhaiku – but i’m possibly carving out my own niche here.

    I love this haiku, seems to tell me tears are a transition to a better place. That they also represent that there ‘was’ love that existed in between lovers. The flowing of tears carry in its flow the end of that love inside to without, bringing that instability out of the lacrimose so as to build new strength from the received weakness.

    tom,
    finding depth in words seems an innate ability of yours. you caught me in my effort to imply the transition.
