Childhood tales – Carpe Diem Haiku


childhood memory
tell me stories at my bed
merging with my dreams
~~
merging with my dreams
the childhood disappointments
sweet lies that you tell
~~
sweet lies that you tell
a nightmare of betrayal
wake in childhood angst

Haiku using the Carpe Diem prompt childhood and haikuchallenge tell. As usual I wanted to do a cascade, but I wanted to avoid to much sweetness. Childhood can be a dark period of bullying and other problems. Picture from Wikimedia Commons

  1. Hi Bjorn, what a wonderful cascade haiku on childhood … childhood isn’t always a great time. Childhood dreams can be a nightmare. Well done.
