Disconnected cords,
Muted vision envelopes,
Starving for that love.
Gruesome terrain, starved,
Blue bird hums gentle swan song,
Hugging deathly life.
This Haiku is hared with Haiku Heights and the Prompt is Starve.
Very very touching!
ReplyDeleteI lik the line "Blue bird hums gentle swan song" a lot!
Thanks Pranita :-)
Deletenice..
ReplyDeleteThese are both excellent haiku for the prompt. Truly it is sad when someone is starved for love.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Teresa !!!
DeleteI don't think anyone deserves to be starved of love.. and sing a swansong.. but when the first happens, the second does seem to follow...
ReplyDeleteSo true, Leo !!!
DeleteI find this very sad.
ReplyDeleteThis indeed is sad !!!
DeleteAlthough sad I like the words "hums gentle swan song" These are melancholy pieces - very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellecee !!!

DeleteNice set, but the second one is really haunting.
ReplyDeleteThank You Patti !!!
DeleteSo sad but true. The blue bird has been robbed of its habitat. Makes one ask,"What are we doing?"
ReplyDeleteTrue ... but we can only blame ourselves !!!
DeleteOh how sad.. to think of something so beautiful starving.. for love, food, shelter, warmth.. all of the above mentioned.. "hugging deathly life.." What a sad reminder.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad Crystal !!!
DeleteThat first one is so sad. It's like the story of millions of humans.
ReplyDeleteSurvival of fittest really leaves the weak starving !!!
DeleteI like the first one... can relate to it...

DeleteWhat a sad picture you've painted here. I found this prompt very sad myself.

DeleteI live in what your words call a "gruesome terrain" (the desert), but I don't find it to be a starved place by any means...
ReplyDeleteStarve
By gruesome terrain I meant the hardships one face in this journey of life :-)
