the secret garden

[Janine]

oh no, Bien, I was revising and added the last line. Let me see if I can combine the two into one. You are better at this than me.

wild beauty remains
rabbits nibble at the weeds
the secret garden

[Janine]

the secret garden
lost forever with no key
confines of my heart

[BienvenuJDC]

wild beauty remains
rabbits nibble at the weeds
the secret garden

:) I thought that you got the games confused... Give me what you got...and I'll add to it...

[BienvenuJDC]

The secret garden
neglected for many years
revived with hard work

[billl]

revived with hard work
i strut again towards fate
which way, confused, lost

[BienvenuJDC]

Which way, confused, lost
The maze shades my lonely path
Cannot find my way...

[Janine]

I did at first get it mixed up but then was revising it and we posted a second appart.

revived with hard work
no longer confined within
my heart sprouts new growth

[Janine]

Cannot find my way?
unlock this fog of wonder
my heart sprouts new growth

[BienvenuJDC]

my heart sprouts new growth
the hedge maze confuses me
cannot find my way

[Janine]

cannot find my way
out of this maze of haiku
time for peaceful dreams

[billl]

my heart sprouts new growth
i follow what becomes me
vain, striving, still me

[billl]

time for peaceful dreams
or rush to fix a mix-up
things go on somehow

[Janine]

vain, striving, still me
to what end I need not know
things go on somehow

[Janine]

things go on somehow
sleep takes over in the end
off to bed I go!

[billl]

things go on somehow
being clever saves the day
art sprouting from loops

[Monamy]

art sprouting from loops
admirers admire the art, the owner,
but they seem to froget the artist

the secret garden
where Adam and Eve met first
got doomed forever

art sprouting from loops
stiffened necks watch them with awe
what a deadly sight!

[PoeticPassions]

got doomed forever
to live in restrained freedom

what - is not to know

[mazHur]

what - is not to know
ignorance is said to be
bliss to be enjoyed.

they suffer, suffer!

[Sapphire]

They suffer, suffer!
But the heat of the moment
Makes it all worth it

[mazHur]

Makes it all worth it
depends upon state of mind

ShardsOfOcene, this is 'Shared Haiku', so you simply use the last line from last poster as your first line and then you write the rest. I like you Haiku though. I would keep that for another time. Welcome to the forum. I see you are new. I love your user name - very clever.

You may want to try again with the line from last Haiku:

happenings around
we must stay fully aware
and keenly alive
