whisper in my ear
a lullaby to steal me
from a sullen life

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Leo, lullaby at its best..
Someone is Special
Thanks very much, SiS..
Nice whisper and lullaby haiku…
Thanks, Heaven! 🙂
I was trying to figure out a way to use “whisper” and “lullaby” in the same haiku, and I couldn’t come up with anything decent–but you did! Lovely, Leo!
Thank you, and I’m glad you liked it, Magical Mystical Teacher!
I finally followed in your footsteps, Leo, and figured out a way to use both “whisper” and “lullaby” in the same haiku. Unfortunately, the Linky List for “whisper” was closed by the time I succeeded! 🙁
Lullaby is usually to lull one into sleep
You have used it nicely to depict a change of state! Well conceived, Vinay.
Yes, I want a lullaby to let me sleep into another world of happiness, Sarasji! Thanks..

I love this. Sometimes we need to be jolted out of our sadness and a whisper is all it takes. -Lola
