pleated valley folds
stretched for miles unto
the far horizon

through magenta clouds
dazzling shards of eve sunlight
did cleverly cut

the soft falling rain
didst lull sleepers to slumber
with their restful drops

out toward the east
a heavily laden cloud brow
poured down its rain

horse tail clouds drifted
across the blue parchment sky
this dazzling spring day

around the garden
a dainty blue butterfly
did pirouette all day

above the roadway
a glassy mirage shimmered
on the long hot day

his lips hungered
to ravish her cream white flesh
in kisses of want

Elizabeth Squires May 2014

Haiku

this morn azure blue
reigns o'er the northern tablelands
radiant is its hue

a flight of ibis
landed on the river's edge
to forage for frogs

Haiku

in lovely refrain
a choir of currawongs chorus
their melodic tune

Haiku

bright sunlight splinters
cut slender pathways down to
the vale's dim lit floor

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Oct 2013

Haiku

fog stayed trapped
within the deep valley folds
on that autumn morn

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Sep 2017

Haiku

in a frantic mode
did come the Atlantic swirl
reeking havoc's toll

volleys of thunder
echoed throughout the night
with a blitzing sound

resplendent the dawn
painted by a sunlit daub
a picture so grand

her petals unfold
to his gratification
pleasure lies within

Haiku

the oppressor's law
muzzles a dissenting voice
lest it speak of truth

Haiku

a sole butterfly
lightly pirouettes around
the floral garden

Elizabeth Squires Apr 2014

Haiku

grey smudged clouds drift
in from the western district
they bring no moisture

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Aug 2013

Haiku

to impart your love
is akin to giving life
inhale its oxygen

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Sep 2014

Haiku

her blue eyes were pools
which he immersed himself
to swim in their beauty

o'er the black sea sky
a huge silvery moon sailed
throughout the long night

soon the buds of spring
shall unfold to reveal their
multitude of hues

on the eastern range
plumes of profuse grey smoke
did rise to the sky

Haiku

around the wheat field
orange winged butteries
gracefully danced

Haiku

a light veil of mist
lingered atop the creek
on this cool morning

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Apr 2021

Haiku

bronze coloured leaves
hung from the oak tree's branches
as Greek medallions

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires May 2021

Haiku

on the forest floor
dappled shadows frolicked
in a playful way

Haiku

as day concluded
a pencil line to the west
outlined sun down

love is a bouquet
scented in fragrant aroma
it overpowers

Haiku

petite elm leaves
fell upon the school playground
like wedding confetti

as day came to end
last vestiges of sunlight
sank toward the west

the sky this very day
has a humdrum appearance
it's shaded in grey

heavily laden clouds*
hang their brows over the town
*readying to unload

glistering dew drops
held light displays in their tears
which were like rainbows

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Jan 2021

Haiku

the sun decided
not to shine brightly to-day
hence the sky being grey

Haiku

her orb's silver beams
shall regale the sky's dark realm
a moon new in phase

magenta splashes
colored the dawning sky
with their sign of rain

out of the darkness
emerged a lamplighter
shedding his bright glow

Haiku

on Carolina shore
the blocking knight did *****
a dividing wall

Haiku

on the grass blades
tiny glass dewdrops closely clung
to reflect rainbows

on his departure
her heart's lively red color
drained to pallor

Haiku

out on the main street
cars and trucks sluice through puddles
that pothole the road

a magenta hue
showed in this morning's sky
as first light dawned

across late eve skies
volleys of thunder echoed
like far canon fire

my sister's garden
is looking really gorgeous
it's full of pretty blooms

on higher regions
of the tablelands this very night
snow flurries will fall

clouds of crimson blush
painted the afternoon sky
in a lovely shade

Haiku

glimmering ripples
played on the lake's surface
like diamond sparkles
