behind a child's dreams
shadows tread oh so softly
darkness slowly blooms
a mind fresh no fear
swiftly grows within a void
innocence is lost
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

Ohh, darkness... I can feel the turmoil in there. Nicely written!
Glad to have you on board with us!
Hi Melanie, it's been a while. It sure is nice to see you writing the haiku circuit. :)
I like your this 'has to happen' set. Do you remember ... Of course, we all do!

It goes like that, doesn't it? It seems darkness hunts innocence. A cruel game.
A strong poem. Says so much in few words!
