Haiku for a lily
curving petals soft
vibrant crimson streaks the pink
dawn precedes the light.

snowy ice frosts the branches
budding for the spring

Haiku for a snowstorm
tiny snowflakes melt
ethereal, translucent
on the looking glass
-----------------------
snowflake swirls gently
through the deepening silence
enchanted morning
-----------------------
Haiku for a snowstorm. and a meeting with a pompous consultant.

Midnight Haiku
snowflakes falling soft
dissolving on eyelashes
silent night again
It's interesting how creative one can get under the influence of mood-altering substances. Now, before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I am NOT talking about any illicit substance - I'm talking about the effect that can be brought about on the body with a glass of good wine and a slice of Konditor Meister cake. Truly, gods and goddesses among patissiers. It's the grown-up equivalent of a sugar high. And it's good. I mean, if I'm going to have insomnia, I might as well enjoy it, right? (As a completely Type A aside, does anyone know how to get the circumflex to display over the a in patissiers?)
How is it that I seem to be stuck on West Coast time when the only time zones I've visited in the last 3 years are GMT, GMT+1 and GMT-5?? I've written 2 more poems and finished another chapter in a short story I've been working on. I can feel myself slowly starting to wind down, so I'll start revising stuff I wrote earlier this week and then try to get a little sleep.
And if that doesn't work, I'll just cut myself another slice of pastry heaven.

Haiku quartet
Here are 4 Haiku I wrote this morning on my way to work, driving along the shore.
tree against a bright sky
reaching out with greening arms
spring is on her way
waves caress the shore
flash of sunlight reflected
gull calls to her mate
sparks of memories
shine so bright behind your eyes
strangers yet again
love shining bright
reflecting the universe
the ice cracks loudly
tree against a bright sky
reaching out with greening arms
spring is on her way
waves caress the shore
flash of sunlight reflected
gull calls to her mate
sparks of memories
shine so bright behind your eyes
strangers yet again
love shining bright
reflecting the universe
the ice cracks loudly
