Love
I wish the world were
simpler than it is, he said,
and she smiled, sadly.

A haiku, for one single impression.

A haiku, for one single impression.
Bluebells and cherry blossom:
English woods in spring.
Beauty tamed, with sparrows.
Without conflict, there is no
force for creation.
The snow white page stays empty.
A (short) response to wewritepoems prompt 45, which is very timely in my case.
My child’s eyelids, soft,
filled with trust as I leave her,
each winter evening.

This poem was inspired by wewritepoems prompt 42 – a safe place. I feel her bed is a safe place for my daughter, and it’s always an emotional experience kissing her goodnight.
