:) Dear Members,
Here is one from me.
--------------------------------------------------
Do you see this sign ahead waiting ?
-------------------------------------------
the promise of you
is a lie unfulfilled
Syllables, no.
Count the words!
Did it again!
Heh-heh-heh. I've been struggling with the same thing. It's a hard habit to break, in't it?Quote:

The bird leaps,
The branch waves,
Goodbye.
stalking me with claws sharpened
little monster cat
now i know
why the rumor
floats about.
Now these three
remain: faith, hope,
and love.

And know
the greatest of these
is love
When love fails,
can faith and hope
endure?
Aren't Faith
and Hope
for when Love fails?
Is that asterisk allowed? Is that a sneaky way of getting in nine words?? :flare: Watch it, buddy! :DQuote:

Yet without faith,
love may never be enough
Gasping,
anguished,
in love undone,
you sink,
breathless.
Thanks for the warm welcome, CdnReader.
Farewell my language,
left abroad, unlearned---
Cymothoa exigua.
Eek! a dread parasiteQuote:

Brilliant idea, and you all are wonderfully creative. I've enjoyed reading your poems tremendously.
hope
a faithless lover, ever
leading me on
Beware light sleepers,
whose vigilant minds
harbor cynicism.
Oooh, that's a spooky one!Quote:

my arbitrator,

Permit me a temporary dispensation from the 8-word rule, but this reminds me of a sign reputedly found above the toilet in a men's bathroom: "We aim to please. You aim too, please."Quote:
