Lost boys


young lost boys
unloved, forgotten,
black tattoo


~0~0  


calls of hate,
needles of venom,
dead peacock

~0~0

cult of love,
winds of forgiveness,
redemption


Written for Few Miles Haiku Challenge 2012 for the month of February:   Day 25 - Cult Form: - Haiku Structure: - 3-5-3 .   Thanks for your visits.

  1. Ohhhh now I love this! Amazing the power that can be packed into just 3 lines. 'The Lost boys'- amazing film. This is one of those poems that I can just identify with completely. nicely done

  2. In each haiku is a "cutting" line! The one that lashes out for me is "dead peacock"! Dramatic!

  12. Well penned. The first one was my favourite. Your words echoed ignorance and a lack of love and care.

  13. Yeah, I like the way this progresses from lost and forgotten, to forgiveness and redemption. The Haiku moment for me was 'Black tattoo'. Phew!
