Haiku

[janicemarie]

Worrying about unknown
Often proves to be
Worse than most reality

Sometimes it does hurt to love
The pain is always
Worth suffering in the end

To hold unto someone close
So tightly from fear
Is to lose them in the end

Sometimes to do the right thing
You might be asked to
Give up on a splendid dream

Our own happiness in life
Caused by what we do
Not on others help

Learn a lesson from the past
So that you are able to
Enrich your future with joy

Most lies can be forgiven
As our time goes by
They will not be forgotten

White falling snow is
Not so very cold
As a rejected lover

To know about your future
You would certainly
Lose all hope for good in life

A peach is only a peach
But you plant the pit
And you will have a nice tree

We are only specs of sand
Amongst the millions
In our open universe

Sorry Janicemarie, haiku is about the only style of poetry I don't know anything about, yours seem to a be a collection of proverbs.
Very nice I must say and I enjoyed reading.

Like you, Katriona, I do not know much about haiku and was mostly familiar with the 5-7-5 structure widely taught in schools. Turns out, there are many structures...Thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection, Janicemarie and would love to see you post more...
