curled in a kernel
imagining the not yets
bliss of the beyond
curled ~ a haiku
sun ~ a haiku
sun spring-cleans blue skies
your shadow lurks in cobwebs
~ hold on or let go?
Katydid ~ a haiku
chorus from the wings
katy-did-she-didn’t-she-did
green big bug singing
*
kirigirisu
serenading camouflaged
it just ain’t cricket
*
broadcast from bushes
nature’s night club naughtiness
now everyone knows

Mindfills for
dVerse’s Sara southwest asks us to write a poem on creepy crawlies. I reposting the haiku sequence I wrote earlier on a katydid for Frank Tassone’s haikai challenge. Kirigirisu is the japanese name for katydid
I walk ~ a novelinee
I walk unawares into colours of you
sunset red singes the tips of my toes
when your velvet voice breezes in cool blue
when the embers of your grey-green eyes glow
triggering shivers of silver lightning
piercing pockets of purple passions
fingers gently entwined, imagining
you and me in another thousand suns
golden, glowing, coz we’re the lucky ones

falling ~ a haiku
anyway ~ a rhyme
Anyway turn I take
I'm back at square one
It's really rough for a girl
who can't sit out the fun
I marshal my sanity
and try and take a stand
to make a smooth transition
to square-two land

lullaby ~ a nonet
my daughter, she slipped her hand in mine
and said to me, I hear your voice
in songs I have never heard
maybe you sang to me
in a lullaby
calming my curls
as I lay
on you

Mindfills for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesdays and for you my D
dawn ~ a haiku
dawn sneaks in, cracks open
heaven's safe of molten gold
~ raining new day drops
delighting ~ a haiku
delighting heavens
she draws dreams with dewdrops
~ now every day smiles

For Ritu. 21.08.21
heart ~ a quadrille
mystic fire dances
to thunderclaps
and swings with the zephyrs
that lyrically lure
my heart
running off with caprice
to realms yet unknown,
trying on silly identities,
slipping into colourful skins,
spritzing wild perfume of possibility
thumbing a ride
on this journey called life
