Longing vibrant youth—
Nestled in my withering
Mystic instructions—
#2
Those bells cannot toll—
For desires and longings—
Live on forever—
#3
Though old memories—
Have long tainted my new self—
Portrait of secrets—

Wow! Thank you. That’s quite a compliment from a writer of your caliber. I’ve been in haiku hiatus for a while. I miss it.

Very nice, Jim. A haiku hiatus? (I like how that sounds) The return of the haikuist (haiku o tsukuru hito). 🙂

Well now I feel like a dumbass, I was at Nans blog and did a quickie haiku there, no one told me there was a picture involved. Another day, another stumble through the social gathering…
Nice job there Jim 🙂
