Cleanse me, erase my
darkness, purge my soul, morning
dew. You, my saviour.
Skin brushed by breeze, I
lick the droplets from leaf tips
and inhale the morn.
TJ has reinvigorated his Household Haiku Challenge and given us haiku addicts a choice – be inspired by the photo he provides, or by the word prompt (‘dew’ this week), or, if you’re feeling completely crazy, use both!
I went for ‘dew’ (yes, really I did!), and as has become my pattern so far (third week running), I offer two haiku for you to read. I hope you enjoy them both!
Please do head on over to TJ’s blog, read the haiku, or go crazy yourself and take part – why not?

Such a lovely pair of haiku. Great pairing with the image too! Just got back to my computer after the weekend so very happy to read these! Best wishes. TJ
Wonderful haiku both of them. I love the line …’inhale the morn.’
Thank you, Judy!
be aware… my tears
of unrequited love… dew…
contagious… drink not
i clench my hands…
prayers offered… begging
my tears forming dew
i give my love
she looks at me… my dearest
your crying… why
my knees give… heart broke
i kneel before her asking…
why do you tell lies
you know she asked
how… i say i love you
yes…but with blank eyes
i beg you please leave
i must cry you out or die
she left… no look back
cried.. drowning in tears
i lay waiting my life done
dreaming… late… must run
thanks so much
your poem inspired me
look… read… have fun
