Series of Haiku Poems from Venezuela

Rose petals rain
—black like of the darkness,
Already withered.

Haiku poems
The coloured rainbow
Will always appear in the
Later of the storm.
Being Intensely
Like dawn are always
The resplendent stars.
You are Elysées
Like of the most grand noon
Intense shine.
The fairies sing
In the immense green sunset
Of dry forests.
In books a thousand
Of new and of fantastic
Adventures.
White snow in the
Grand city of the light…
Immortal Paris!
Rose petals rain
—black like of the darkness,
Already withered.
