Haiku ( first love )

Little tawny buds . . .
After winter spring sparkles,
. . . Freckles on her face.

Haiku ( nightshade )

Gnarled twigs, eyes of owl . . .
Blood blooms from feather and fur,
. . . Flowers of the moon.

Dreams lost when waking,
Sea spray, tangled kelp wafting,

Haiku ( rapt )

Spring morning mist swirls,
Flowers twirling in the sun,
. . . Dizzy bees buzzing.

Haiku ( reborn )

Sun of early spring,
Joyous— we walk on water,
Minnows under ice.

Haiku ( forlorn )

Must vanity reign,
To sully music, poetry,
As it falls from sky?

Haiku ( glistening )

All my love for her . . .
Burnished out in the open,
. . . The way that light clings.

Haiku ( insinuators )

Little painted homes . . .
Placed for colourful songbirds,
. . . Sparrows boldly nest.

Zz Haiku ( aloof )

Dry words reassure . . .
Her still eyes breaking down speech,
. . . My eyes are raining.

Haiku ( naiad )

I trembled zipping her,
Cascades of hair— rosewater,
Poured into a dress.

My Aphrodite

Out of Greek myth, she
Glowed at the party and proved,
Stories I had told.
