The Walk
Beneath the pale orb,
ice breaks under cold footfalls.

Haiku need not be
Five-seven-five anymore
They are breaking free
Hey cool contest :) most haiku written nowadays no longer follow this strict formatting though. Modern haiku are freestyle! Just a thought ;)

"Say no to Drugs"
Drugs are for the fools,
You really want to be cool?
My friend, go to school.

Hi @moonleesteem. I wrote this poem two weeks ago and I am entering it into your contest.
It reminds me of Christmas time and the lights. By the way happy holidays
A Mother’s Love
She kissed her son's cheek
And the whole room had lit up
With love and... bright Stars

Title -- Nothing
The twin of my void,
Even imagination,
Can't decipher them

Winters Eve
Swirling snowflakes fall
Dance to winters symphony
Then drift into night
Taken from a set of four I wrote earlier in the year for each of the seasons
