A Single Flame

[burningepiphany]

Burning is a flame
Guiding my way back home
A light in my dark

I am so alone
I have been gone much too long
Something is calling

Homeward I tread now
Nearly blind through the forest
I stumble my way

Yet the flame guides me
Once more I see the dim path
And I have found home


This was my first try at haiku. Sorry if it sucked or wasn't right or something. Well I'd like opinions...

I don't know enough about Haiku to really comment on the structure......but I felt I had to comment on the poem....Very well done and a really good read. And I sure am glad you found home hon.......very meaningful. Thanks for sharing this

I know that it has to be 5-7-5, but then I alsothink it can be more than one verse. I have read them, by some spanish poet... i can't remember his name I'll get back to you on that... but I'm pretty sure they can have more than one verse... oh well if not i'll live
