As salty tears flow in sad waves
Arms hang like branches blown
Reach weeping into foggy thoughts
Of starlight dreams I've known.

Birds chirp a dirge in memory
Outside my window's dawn.
A new day heralds sorrow
Alas, my love has flown.

Deep within, a flower wilts
It speaks of love's demise
Waif flora keeps a painful watch
Knowing by nature's rules 'twill die.

Sweet sun shine hope upon this soul
Clouds spare your shadow's cast
Rain go away another day I need
Nature's sweet fruits to last.

Place flowers on my window sill,
That speak of rainbow's hues.
Heaven sing hymns of strength and love,

and send courage to start anew.

I know nothing of trimeter or tetrameter....All gobbledy gook to me...I simply write poetry. ...This is quite nice...very descriptive, but the last two lines do not read well......It should be 'SINGS' in the plural in my untrained eyes and if not then I would alter the last line to 'And send me' ...not sending me. Just my opinion mind, we are all learners here

Thank you for your kind review, Dr. Wood, and for catching the inconsistency in the last two lines. I changed the last line to "and send..."
It's nice to meet you. It was all gobbledy gook to me too when I first began, and still is sometimes. Especially those pesky haiku. :)
