In a world So Cold...

Written for Haiku Heights.. prompt : Cold



In a world so cold
Child of poverty seeks
Warmth in man’s heart


*****


Such coldness in heart
Your words freeze, I wait for Sun
To let kindness melt..


****


A fun Haiku..too, well here's one;


Jungle celebrates
Everyone sings, donkey doesn't
Suffers from cold..

  2. Beautiful contrasts in both haikus! The first one is dramatically poignant! The second is dramatically wistful!

  3. Both are great, but the first one truly touches the heart.

  4. You have deviated and handled the prompt differently and on a very serious note!!
    Missed your fun Haiku's today!! But you have done these here excellently!!
