A Haiku Written in Late Autumn
Three hours after dark,
the curve of a splintered moon
climbs above the pines.
Welcome... @acolucky very cool poem. Good Luck.
Thank you, @moonleesteem, for this contest. :D

"She Threw Me Under The Bus"
~A Haiku~by Duncan Cary Palmer
Feelings unresolved;
She threw me under the bus.
What will I do now?
It's a cold feeling... but I've forgiven her.

Brow wet, muscles weak,
Yet, barren hook insults me.
Fish absconds, joyful.

To The One That Got Away
Butterfly kisses,
Your touch used to burn my skin --
Now I'm missing you.
Welcome... @lyxng this is a very touching poem with feeling... Good Luck.

After winter snow,
Blanketing all in white shrouds,
The landscape transformed.

Welcome... @jacobtothe this is a very good Haiku poem about the winter... Good Luck.
But did you catch the second haiku I sneakily included in the same comment?
Yeah 🤓
Well, that sneaky haiku isn't the entry. Just the bold text above the photo.
My entry: Cameo Jesus
Cameo Jesus
Cameo Jesus -
brief appearance of true love
then lightning, darkness.

Already some great haiku. Wow! Your contest is growing, @moonleesteem. I'm overjoyed to see that! Here is mine:
Headnote: Years ago I played clarinet in a jazz band and learned to love swing jazz, the kind you may have seen or heard in movies set in the 1930s. When I came to Japan, I was pleasantly surprised to find not only is jazz very popular, but there are jazz bars everywhere in many major cities. One of the best ways to unwind after a long day.
late in the evening
jazz music playing softly
sipping a cold beer
Welcome... @dbooster this is a very cool Haiku, I love jazz music and the nightlife. Good Luck.
Yes, the contest is growing... that's good we are making, " Haiku great again on Steemit!"
BUBBLE
Pond juggling bubbles.
One million of them at once.
Until one explodes.
Welcome... @csbegu for this very nice Haiku poem about bubbles. Good Luck.
Sky Dying
First time skydiving
Expert has a heart attack
You must land alone
Based on a true story, pretty crazy stuff
the professional guide basically died on the first time skydiver's back
attached to him, but before he died, he was able to explain quickly to the man how to operate and release the parachute
to help the guy land to safety
Talk about the worst sky diving experience ever
Welcome @mordiki... Wow what a story and a poem.
Good Luck
