The Wild Ones

Picture Credit: From Google images

Young hearts enamored
Holding on to warm moments
Of wild frenzied zeal

Or frigid outbursts
Clasped in each other’s arms with
Muted emotions

Good when it lasted
Given to daring exploits
Wild one of a kind

  5. Ah, youth. There's no doubt in my mind, Hank. Youth is definitely wasted on the young. I could use a bit of that wildness in my old-lady self.

  8. Kind of sad when you think about it this way. But passion can be revived. You did an excellent job with the comparison.

  11. This is good. Did the picture inspire the poem or did you write and then find the perfect picture? Either way it is great.

  12. The zeal can be hard to hold on to but with the right one and work it can surely come due.

  13. In all of us there is always, waiting in the shadows, the tremor of the wild, kept in check... but only just.

  14. Nice, I love haiku. Great job here, I always enjoy seeing these haiku strings that can work great alone but add to their brilliance when they are strung together and therefore add to the overall combined piece. Great job. Thanks

  15. I'm now stuck on the idea of making love in a tiger enclosure. Darwin would not approve.

  17. Getting that wild zeal to last is definitely more difficult as we get older, but thankfully not impossible! Love this.
