haiku4u

Lazy bass slumbers
Immersed in Halcyon dreams  
Sharp-eyed eagle dines


..........


Black widow spider
Sporting hourglass figure
Consumes ardent mate


..........


red purple pink gold
colors washed in ocean waves
day’s death sets night free


..........


Salty sand dances
Cool waves roll upon the shore
Music in their roar


..........


Fire sanctifies
Transgressions against nature
Purity endures


..........


I can hear echoes
Reaching for my shattered soul
The beat of your heart


..........



bride dressed in white lace
flawless blue eyes shining bright
dreams and flowers – crushed

    Personally, I liked these 2 the most:

    Salty sand dances
    Cool waves roll upon the shore
    Music in their roar
    ..........
    Fire sanctifies
    Transgressions against nature
    Purity endures

    I hope you find success with these
