As When . . .

THREE HAIKU

As when the waves rage
So does my turbulent life
Beat upon my shore

As when the sky weeps
So do my eyes shed their tears
For those friends now gone

As when the wind gusts
So does my discontent rage
For those without love

A perfect marriage of Haiku, they are each as beautiful as they are together Roland.

These are wonderful, Roland! And I like how you brought 3 haiku together!
3 for the price of 1! 🙂 And we can all relate to the feelings they evoke and the life experiences they speak of!
HUGS!!! 🙂

These are like three pieces of a jigsaw Roland. No matter which way you place them they fit together. Wonderful poetry.
