    I have to say, I always think of Haikus as uplifting–helping me get past the bad stuff in just a few words. Yours does that

    Lovely haiku. For some reason, I feel like a bunch of Beatles songs could be repurposed for a haiku.

    All you need is love
    to guide you through storm and rain,
    Love is all you need.

      Thanks, Alex. And you’re absolutely right. The best songs lyrics are wonderful works of poetry. I love your haiku creation based on the Beatles song. It’s beautiful 🙂
