Haiku About Mother’s Love

 

Endless, warm embrace,

Mother's love, a sacred bond,

Nurturing heart's grace.

 

Gentle guiding light,

Unconditional warmth flows,

Mother's love, pure bliss.

 

Whispers of comfort,

Love's embrace, forever strong,

Mother's heart, our home.

 

Tender, selfless care,

Unbreakable bond we share,

love, beyond compare.

 

Soft hands, gentle touch,

Unconditional embrace,

Mother's love, purest.

Earth’s Warnings

 

In the realm of nature's plight,

Humans wreak havoc day and night.

With greed as their guide,

They tear the Earth wide,

Ignoring the dire need for respite.

 

Cries Of The Terrain

 

In nature's fragile domain,

Humans inflict a lasting stain.

With reckless disregard,

They scar and discard,

Ignoring the cries of the terrain.

As a concerned spirit, she constantly develops and evolves by following various circles of writing workshops, poetry and children's literature. She actively participates in various social, philanthropic, and cultural activities throughout Cyprus. Her works are also published in various online literary magazines or blogs and announcements of her poems in radio broadcasts.
