I knew her, once.

Contributed by SuicideParty on Tuesday, 7th December 2004 @ 08:22:01 PM in AEST
Topic: Haiku



I know a woman
She tells me stories of home
I don’t ask her why

And this one woman
She loves like she’s dying soon
I worry for her

I’ve known a woman
Who hid her tears when she cried
She would not dry them

I miss that woman
In my mind, she’s everywhere
Extraordinary

I knew a woman
But I took her for granted
Now she’s gone for good

Tis a good write...never did understand what haiku was about even though many have tried to explain....
I liked this poem though well written and tenderly composed...excellent write.

Beautiful! Most of the time, I read haikus and notice immediately that they're haikus because the necessary syllable amounts make the lines jerky and awkward, but I honestly didn't realize these were haikus till I saw your comment because it flows so naturally and comfortably. Wonderful job- very eloquent, touching, emotional poem and the haiku pattern is well done :).

keep it up,
Nora
