curled ~ a haiku

curled in a kernel
imagining the not yets
bliss of the beyond

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

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

falling into you
hiding hope and a rainbow ring 
for your finger

FOWC falling

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
ma

dawn ~ a haiku

dawn sneaks in, cracks open
heaven's safe of molten gold
~ raining new day drops

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
