bathed in light
riding a star trail
with you
who do you weep for
oh! shining star
moonbeam – she stole my heart
hand in hand
walking the path of stars
white heaven
you and me
two stars
in this galaxy
two lost stars
pining from afar
so near and yet so far
endless blanket of stars
one breaks off
eternal void
you and me, who are we
a blip
in galaxy of eternity
stars are but tears
shed for you
starlight on my tongue – salty

I like the first and third ones the best, Sapna.
It clicked.
P.S: Haiku is not a rhyming poetry form..
yes, Leo I know that. The fifth one doesn’t qualify on that ground ! and the last one ? does it exceed the syllable limit? I wasn’t sure
Don’t think syllables are an issue. But 4,5 and 7 all rhyme..
Perhaps, 8 was a few too many
ok! will keep in mind next time
Sapna,
Haiku Master has already said it all. It is fantastic, particularly the first one, I loved it, but you need to work a little; first point, it should not rhyme, second, it should not be less than 17 syllables..
If you need any help regarding syllable count, you can check at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ or here at this counter – http://www.russellmcveigh.info/content/html/syllablecounter.php
If you need any help, please drop an email. Also, thanks for leaving the links. I’m happy to read your take.. Please keep writing..
Poetically.
Someone is Special
thanks SIS ! these two sites will be useful . the syllable count should be exactly 17?
I’m sorry.. It should be less than 17 syllable.. Usually, Haiku structure is 5-7-5 or 3-5-3 and you’ve many other forms as well. Maybe, you can try this initially and start exploring the rest later..
Sure!!!! Will keep trying
thanks
I’m smitten with the idea of the Milky Way being a “blanket” and a “path.”
Milky Way
welcome to the world of smitten people
I am smitten by everything to do with the sky ! specially the night sky !
Beautiful. Loved these lines…
” two lost stars
pining from afar
so near and yet so far “
thanks hitesh! Glad you like it! Even though , that’s not proper haiku! haiku is not supposed to rhyme, but I liked the verse too, so posted it anyway
Haiku or no Haiku… it touched the heart and thats what matters. Isnt it
