I have been spotted next to a flower
Under the ocean
Sobbing
Next to a pillow
Drinking wine
I have been spotted
Doing a crazy dance
Naked, naked
The sun was not out
Bright, bright moon
I have been spotted
Behind a tall tree
Holding a doll sobbing
I have been spotted
Climbing that tree
Playing hide and seek with the sun
I have been spotted
Praying for love
Standing naked
Smiling
My hands wide open
I ripped the white shirt
Wet, wet shirt
I swim in the ocean
I carry a bag of laughter
Till the end
The bag! Larger than me!
Me and the bag
A journey of a lifetime
I’m swimming
Reaching
I’m climbing the mountain
Next to the apple
Close to the rose
I catch the butterfly
Open the bag of laughter
I’m sleeping
Under a tree
It carries my hopes
I close my fist
I hold my dreams
I open my fist
The butterfly is free.

I just read seven of these and they are all so good! I'm not a poet and I don't read poetry much, but I'd love for you to go to this challenge someone just gave me and see how you do at haibun! It seems to be a community of poets who I think would receive you very well! Hope I don't just get spammed...
