Two Haiku

Hey, I told you I get into a weird mood now and then.  Occassionally, that comes out as Haiku.  Not very often, because the form is difficult, if you do it right.  It's not just the right number of beats per line, it's also the content of the poem itself.  To me, a good Haiku bends back upon itself, and convey a lot of meaning in three apparently simple lines.  I think I managed it with these two, but you can make up your own mind about that.

Two Haiku

Breathtaking beauty
beheld in a passing glance
once captured is lost



knowing heartbreak
memory of beginning
melancholy bliss
