anagramloverfriendshipimaginationhope: haikus

Anagram

slipshod letters of
incomprehensible life,
arranged: fragmented

Lover

a touch for a look
while spent by lover’s brook
cymbals—best when paired

Friendship

hiss, burnt lips: common
shared junk, dutch fares: together
moving images

Imagination

on sick bed, wasted
in dreams distant, yet vivid
runs free, wind in hair

Hope

night crescent broken,
small pieces cached for weeks
like treasured toy

the anagram one is poignant.. A little hazy on the thoughts though..

still searching: thank you. Another one with hope: Hope is the thing with feathers that perches on your soul (anonymous)

candid confessions: It says that on arranging the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of your life, what you end up with is something that's disjointed and fragmented.

I envy you the ease with which you can write haikus. I can never do it! All my love for the language and all my thoughts just disappear when I start thinking about a haiku and start counting syllables :(

loved all of them .. you certainly do have a way with words :)
