dVerse: Heart & Soul

dVerse: Open Link Night



The challenge is to write using words we tend to overuse. My words are heart and soul.


haiku to my heart
words that flow from your soul
etch them within me

    1. Thank you, Brian! So nice of you to visit. I have so much to read for three challenges. Your time and visits so much appreciated. I am in awe of really good haiku. Glad you are developing a taste for it. Bjorn's is much better. Etch came up in about my 5th rework of the last line. :)
