SYMPHONY OF SEASONS
Spring’s gentle embrace,
awakening earth from sleep—
blossoms bloom in grace.
SUMMER’S GOLDEN KISS
Warm sunlight surrounds,
nature’s bright chorus rising,
golden days unfold.
AUTUMN’S FIERY HUE
Leaves dance on cool winds,
crisp air carries soft farewell,
the season turns slow.
WINTER’S ICY BREATH
Snow blankets the earth,
white silence resting on trees—
beauty in stillness.

ODE TO THE OCEAN
Endless waves crash on,
singing ancient ocean songs—
whispers from the deep.
SALT-KISSED BREEZE
Salt-kissed breeze drifts in,
carrying tales of the sea
from distant waters.
SEAGULLS SOARING HIGH
Gulls ride the wild wind,
circling above open seas—
freedom in their wings.
SUNSET PAINTS THE SEA
Sunset paints the sea,
colours melting into gold—
day’s last breath lingers.

A Linked Haiku Sequence
***
Silent shadows loom,
lightning meets the thunder’s roar—
strangers face the storm.
Wary eyes linger,
quiet doubts drift in the air,
unspoken whispers.
Through uncertain tides,
two hearts test the restless waves—
fear walks beside hope.
Careful steps forward,
laughter softens guarded walls,
trust begins to rise.
Storm clouds slowly part,
two wandering souls now aligned—
friendship finds its path.
