A storm breaks out in a fragrant orchard
The sight of apples dancing in full bloom
Whets the hunger of the horses in wind
Turns the squall into greedy tornado

Rooftop plundered reason burst asunder
The tornado blows in a mighty speed
In the midst of noon a deep dusk descends
Rooms vibrate in an exciting tension

Then comes down the rains in heavy downpour
The collected clouds now disperse in joy
Currents lashing the sea shore are now tame
An apple tree bends down like a rainbow

Two green and pink fruits hanging in full bloom
Close to his chin to his stunning delight
10 syllables in each line? 14 such lines . Can't we introduce sonnets in free verse?

Crescent moon is keen
The cave wears a black jacket
Come, kindle the lamp
A Haiku

Crimson cracks in clouds
On your breath a petrichor
Moistened duskysmell
Evening in your eyelashes

What else is needed to make a poem
Honey from spoon and the lemon in a slice
Apples blooming in moonlight
To you and me the time looking on

Moons have to be awakened
Apple call to be answered
Yellows and reds in the heart beat
A romantic Acrostic

As you swing in rocking chair up and down
And the light plays hide and seek on your aroma
Words at windows wearing each a golden crown
Ask me to give each of them a crimson stanza

Those of us who can observe this verbal dance
In the ripples raised by your deep lake water
Are every now and then in restless trance
Until is born from the waves a lyrical laughter

If it is night some stars descend to watch the chemistry
Sometimes lend their radiance to the figure of joy
What happens then in the churning is a mystery
We open the door and lo there is Helen of Troy

We know this way by which darkness travels to light
Our boredom ends in the valley of Nirvana
Our struggle easily succeeds in an orange delight
More delicious is the trigger in your aroma

Ocean beckons from
Hidden laughter in your eyes
Crystals of blue sky

As you say come in
It's a door of poetry
Crazy words and deeds
Haiku

The two hungry rivers met at last
In moments glassed
They came into each other
The two hungry rivers

The dark air looked on
The darker rooms lit fireworks
Sparkling knife and fork
The train moved slow and fast
The path
Devoid of all math
As long as it can last
Through the pine and hills
Rain arrives and falls
Until the basin fills

And the two rivers
They shout they sing in crimson thrill
In pink oxygen their lungs they fill
Time stands still

Sometimes time does stop
To gaze and taste the honey drop

Blue sky, two clouds clash
Lightning thunder rain, they pass
Clear sky back again
A Haiku
