Alliterative Haiku

Two variations on an alliterative haiku (that's haiku with alliteration)

she says I sound so \\ 
souled-up, sold on a light dream \\ 
drifting in the wind.

she says I sound so \\ 
souled-up, sold on the soft sand \\ 
sailing in the sun.
(tweet)

The second is more completely alliterative, but I like both. They're peaceful :)

who'd have thought?

who'd have thought
    the man could teach me?

my soul-calming river-rushing moments came back to me,
and I relaxed, and let down my walls
to look beyond his smell and his shabbiness.

and then he began to sing. I coaxed myself to be calm,
to remain opened, to look beyond...
perhaps he's one of the hidden ones,
who challenge us to see greatness, if only we will look deeper,
look beyond...

he sang an ancient melody,
and it warmed my soul, as I sat there motionless,
listening, and keeping down my guard.

he sang and the holiness in what he flickered towards,
in what he aspired towards,
touched me and soothed my soul with comfort.

I wondered after he had gone -
and I barely knew what to wonder.
