Honey-kisssed curls dance
Calm, she whistles while she works
Nectar on her lips


This haiku is dedicated to Melissa, the Goddess of Honey.

Another goddess who I adore even though there isn't much about her either. Anytime I see bees, I like to think that its Melissa calling them as their Queen, haha! I always love to live in a world of make believe.

Bolt-haired and moon-skinned
Kiss of dew nourish the Earth
Flora sweetened now

There isnt much about her myth wise but still, I want to give every woman of myth love they much deserve! She's the daughter of Zeus of Selene but still she fascinates me, haha!

Eos

Dawn with rose fingers
Stars glimmer in lounging eyes
She weeps from heartbreak


Haiku for the day!
This one is for Eos, Goddess of Dawn.
Another unfortunate who was jealously cursed by love for fall for those who do not want her in turn...
Im taking it easy but expect more freeverses from me soon! I'm honestly grateful for the love and support. 🙏🌹💜

In running water
She prepares her healing hands
Work upon the sick

Cosmos on her palms
Fates long written in the stars
Though far, she is near


Last but certainly not least, the muse, Urania
I'm honestly in awe of Urania and her powers...

Roses atop spun gold
Sea-green eyes so still with love
Songs are sparrow-sweet


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Erato.
I feel such a kinship with her as she is the muse of lyrical poetry.

Perched on sorrow's edge
Love, hate, pain are twinned and twined
Beauty behind tears


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Melpomene.
There's a strange beauty in tragedy, as much as there are many lessons also...

Flourishing with laughs
Smiling eyes under her mask
Wear wreath of applause

We all need to kick back and find a way to laugh, hence why I love Thalia so much, haha!
