Nov 16, Quote of the Day 830

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:40:22 GMT

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
-- Hal Borland

Nov 16, New Haikus by Tanja Cilia

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:40:22 GMT

A burdened donkey,
An ant carrying its load...
Do they ever ask why?

Bridges of my dreams
The other side lost in mist
Perilous journeys.

Elinor has sense;
Marianne, sensibility;
Both, in time, find love.

Eyes brimming with tears;
Mouth turned down at the corners...
Utterly spoiled brats!

I gave you my heart;
You used it and returned it...
Bruised, stained and shop-soiled.

Moments spent with you,
When time ceases to exist...
Worth more than jewels.

No rains for parched earth;
But monsoons flood and destroy;
Both quirks of nature.

Spring awakens life;
Blossoms peeking though the soil...
Destroyed, for they're weeds.

Steep mountains to climb;
Gales of unrelenting force...
Story of my life.

The postman rings twice,
Every morning, without fail...
Exclaims Youve got mail!

The Queen is coming!
She walks over strewn flowers...
So regal... so sad!
