Haikus: Obsession, Hourglass, Gratitude



Obsession with ideas,
Write, rewrite to finalize,
What rewarding time.
.
When hourglass turns again,
Obsession of you remains,
Thankful thoughts obtain.
.
Wish to hug the Sun,
Like crazy, off edge I run,
Obsession is wine.
.
Childhood obsession:
Dreams, books, and observations,
How admirable.



Haiku Heights - Prompt #94 - Obsession

One Single Impression:   Hourglass

Magic in the Backyard: Gratitude

    I think there must beat an obsessive heart for any child to become a poet.

    I love this set. I love how you make your obsession feel so calm and so turbulent at the same time.

    Re: "off edge I run":
    I hope, but am afraid it might, that your poet's obsession will not turn out to be a self fulfilling prophect.
