I Can Breathe Again ...Haiku about Love?
I had to write these...so I can smile again....Maybe? I know that I'll be ok, both above and far beyond the pain...
Experiencece haiku?....I suppose
I can breathe again
I think the pain is over
A new day has dawned
2
She was never mine
My Heart often tells me lies
...this one a whopper
3
How great are strangers
Electronically distant
Closer than my "friends"
4
Internet POWER!!!
The strength from within a tribe
Strength to stay alive
5
My heart ripped to shreds
Allergic to what's called L O V E
A four letter word
Survival
6
A madman writing
Can't stop my hand from moving
Or eyes from tearing
7
There Will come a day
I look upon this and laugh :)
Wish this were THAT day
8
Sense of humours back
I think I'm even smiling
She couldn't pack that
9
"Nah ,nah, nah, na... na!!!!"
You can't have my joy, woman!!!!
Hope this smile is true
10
By the time I'm done
I hope I have forgotten
Oh, who...what's her name???
There is..
11
I can stretch my arm
And I feel eternity
Clock says five minutes
12
On the other hand
Guess, it's good being so free
Can leave the seat up
13
Now the empty space
The whole left side of the bed
Warm as your heart...brrrrrrh!!!!!
14
Can't find my brown socks
Wonder what/who she's doing
Hope he's not wearing
15
Well, on the bright side
Now I can watch my own shows
Jerry Springer, Blah!!!
Resilience
Laughing/crying...laughing uncomfortably still
16
Just thought about this
Get sued for showing her pic
Get back my brown socks
17
Should be grateful though
There were moments of great joy
I too was at fault
18
One thing I've found true
Just a series of moments
God, we sure had ours!
19
Bet you didn't know
Souls can break , just like some glass
Then bounce like rubber
20
Can't capture the wind,
Or dwell on her forever,
...nor find my brown socks

You express emotion in a truthful, powerful, creative way. I love the light humor included. You are an unbelievable talent using wonderful imagery.
Thank you for sharing. Let's say goodbye to pain!

Well thankvyou so so much maven...I knew I was pushing the boudaries (a tad) but When I couldnt express emotion and humour anymore ...haiku popped in my head( a strange place to be) ;)...thanks for the read and comment..you are awesome!!!

Laurinzo...Wonderful imagery...the pain comes through, tempered with a little levity...This haiku form seems to flow with ease from your talented mind...I agree with John Hanson, haiku is normally about nature, and man's relationship to the physical world...This free-form haiku, while adhering to the 5-7-5 syllabic English form but ignoring the disparity required by the third line, creates a haiku that is poetic prose full of human intimacy, love, and pain...
Thank you for this intimate expression of your parting pain, your incidental freedom ("Leaving the seat up", and "Now I can watch my own shows") , and your humor...Larry

Thank you Rinita Sen...and yes this is my real life pain..but im okay sharing it...and writing and reading fine works like yours pushes it away...the healing has begun
Rinita Sen on March 23, 2020:
Some of these are really strong and speak from the heart. If these are based on real life experiences, I hope you come out of the situation soon. You are talented and I hope to read more from you.

Laurinzzoscott, you capture the emotion of a sad break-up so wonderfully in these haiku. I have never seen haiku used this way before (usually about nature etc) but it worked so well, and I loved the bit of humour...hope you found those brown socks by now. Well done.
