In the violet
hour - winter lifts its veil
revealing…a blush
Fall tosses citron
like rice at a wedding
anointing its guests
Spring begins slowly
jade blades - - then tulips blush red
staining the bride’s mouth
Summer arrives in
saffron robes - ready to delight
the most chaste among us

So, I am not sure that I should post these yet - they are not quite right/ready, but I was inspired by T-unit and Pancho. I will keep trying.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the tranquil imagery of the seasons, these lines hold a calming sway over the reader-nice. I'll try to write something soon so you guys can comment back-there's just no time....
ReplyDeleteWe understand B Digital. Thanks for your very nice words and thoughts. You keep warm.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why my post from yesterday is not on here, but I said this one makes me think of a scene in the woods of Japan (because of the images not because it's haiku) and girl is standing there while the seasons change all around her. I think I saw a movie like that once.
ReplyDeleteHey Pancho - I liked the way you described the scene from your mind that my pseudo-haikus created. I found it strangely funny because I have been reading a lot about a Japanese philosophy called "hara hachi bu" lately and looking at a lot of Japanese art, which I am drawn to, especially the hokusai wave, so my sub-conscious must have been "channeling" a bit of that.
ReplyDeleteI love all the poetry and love to read it. You will not see a poem from me..unless it is really late and I have had alot of wine!! I really am enjoying all the writtings
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME. I can really see what you are describing. Keep writing!
