Let Me Be

by Gypsy Blue Rose

let me be
the cleansing rain

on your face
the warm sun

on your skin
and the plum juice
on your lips

 


wet and fertile soil
  nudges roots to break through—
towards the light


 

at night I'll be
summer breeze

playing with your hair
and crackling leaves
on the dancing boughs

as the moonbeams
light the way
 


lavender in the wind
bowing west
in the morning sun
 




Free Verse doesn't have any rules but it should flow well

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less.
