Totally read that in Trumps irritating voice, laughing my ass of for real 🤣🤣🤣

Haha I did that too!

I wish I could upvote this again!

Unfortunately this poem had too many syllables. Your first line had six. A common mistake with Haikus. Better luck next time

The heart to real love

Sleepless nights I spend
Coz my future looks bleak
I've lost my way

We are currently undergoing a storm here in the Netherlands.
My favorite weather, I love it!
Sadly, nature is paying it's toll though,
hence, this weeks Haiku, enjoy:

🌳 Fallen trees 🌳

Mother nature weeps
her children bow to their knees
as silent victims..

it. Please check

Kisses in the rain,

God's shower of approval,

Getting twice as wet.

Such comfort is found
Lay here on the blood soaked ground
No one left around



I know they don't have to rhyme, but is just happened that way. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to turn some wayward wanderings into a haiku!
