    (don't forget to select a word from the haiku above when creating yours)

    Voices of the breeze
    Whisper on the mountain's peak
    Solace to the soul

    Voices in the night
    Death in the thick summer air.
    Grandma, I'll miss you.

    Death spreads ebon wings
    Weeping friends surround a bed
    Moth flits past the moon

    Beacon of the night
    Cold light spills across the land
    dripping from the moon

    My hands are idle
    Spilling their love's illusion
    Night. Words. We are one.

    Behind brittle mask
    Walk the stage, recite the lines
    Illusion of life

    life is a pathway

    Fogbound road of time
    past recalled but lost from view
    future lies in mist

    Mist enshrouds the sea
    Compass, undecided, twists
    Where to point my prow?

    Love twists my insides
    Always hopelessly needing
    Confused, I hate it

    It is a shame how
    Needing to sleep can hinder
    Life experience.

    Hurricane of time
    Howling 'round the Universe
    Life is but a sneeze

    Waves swell and recede
    Cold brine washes over sand
    Footprints disappear

    (You're supposed to use a word from the previous Haiku!)

    Voices of the dead
    Dusty tomes of epic poems
    Echo in my head

    Dusty Memories
    Photographs of family.
    Long lost, but still loved.

    Lost in the shifting
    Water crashing, sand sifting
    World rearranging.

    The Gift of foresight
    Never putting a foot wrong
    Who has it? No-one!

    Sorry- lot's of Haiku under the bridge since the one I thought I was following.

    I haven't lost the plot
    but time passed between idea
    and execution

    (More than 17 syllables in the previous haiku)

    Moments lost in time
    Silhouettes against the sky
    Frost encrusts the heart

    Frost upon the pane
    Icy feathers hide the view
    Ancient fingers creak

    I am usually found exploring the depths of my imag
    Fingers laying still
    Ideas that have gone away
    Inspiration lost

    Sky is black and lost
    Crying forever drip, drip
    Like a weaning babe

    Hearts are turning BLACK
    Words spoken can't be undone
    We are all alone

    Undone cannot be
    Fixed by satisfication it
    the heart can only fix
