No Tears

Dry eyes for dead leaves
No joy for the birth of ice
Fall waits for winter

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁

Very well written. I clicked on the link to Haiku Horizons so I could follow that blog for the prompts but there is no “Follow” button. How would I sign up to receive the prompts?

  Hi Wise One! There’s no follow or prompt. It comes up with a new word once a week. (can’t remember what day)- and then you just add your poem to its Mr Linky and your blog. A very good place to exercise haiku. 🙂

this is deeply touching – “Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart.”

  Thank you for your comments. Although no-one on earth’s going to cry over dead leaves- they make such a mess anyway. I have to sweep them off my porch everyday!
