Streaks of love forlorn
Paint scattered star strewn skies whilst
Moonlit flowers fall

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

So beautiful, that second line is jam-packed with lovliness!!
Every syllable here is beautiful ♥
Ooo I love that this was in the italic font, it goes very well with the mood of your haiku. Lovely imagery. I can imagine the moonlit flowers falling. This is too good to not give a second and third read. I dragged out the 'forlorn' and when I got to 'fall' it sounded so good when I did that. It's amazing how you came up with this. Even better too when it's said softly.
well written
Beautiful
So pristine and beautiful!
This one gave me shivers. So beautiful!
Such soothing imagery you used here Cindy!! 💚
Beautiful imagery
This was so mesmerising! Loved your poem!
Love the imagery and alliteration in your Haiku, Cindy! And once again the pic you selected evokes not only the falling petals but the stars crowded in the sky!
Very picturesque.
Another excellent piece. Well done.
Beautiful Haiku and photo, Cindy. Reminds me of the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival which we just celebrated in honour of the Moon Goddess.
