Pain

Face to the grey sky,
Wet butterfly eyelashes
Blink back mist and tears.

 
~Riorlynë
Something I wrote today, as it was a dark and drizzly one. For DailyPoet's current prompt, 'rain'.

(Also, are haiku not allowed to be emotional or something? :? Because if I click Literature => Poetry => Emotional, there's no "Haiku and Eastern" option.)

I've taken to writing haiku recently as more of the 5/7/5 syllable, not necessarily about nature or anything.

I can almost see through the eyes of the girl walking away, left to the imagination to wonder why she is crying, and the extravagance of her eyelashes.  I really like this.
