Haiku: Ruby (HH Prompt)

Posted on 2014-12-14 by merlinspielen

vivid bittersweet
autumn blushed lips tinged with heat
your memory burns.

Inspired by the theme word “RUBY” at
Haiku Horizons

  In the silence of my empty house I write words for my imaginary lover hoping my longing will make her real. This is actually a form of insanity. And it makes for adequately readable poetry!

May have been years since you’ve dated but seems to me you are being a bit selfish not sharing your poetic self in “person”!!!

  Lol. Some things are simply better in theory than they prove to be in reality.

  At least on “paper” I do – been years since I had a date! You are very kind to say so – I guess it is like the old saying about teaching and doing. In this case romance and poetry. Which would be “those that can do; and those that can’t write poetry!”

    You made me laugh with this one:
    
    In the case of romance and poetry “those that can do; and those that can’t write poetry!”
    
    And I write a LOT of poetry myself.
    
    You have an obviously a romantic soul inside you and also a humorous personality.
