October 2010. Haiku. (27)

by moira hahn 

 

 

1.

Tea leaves--
Fumbling with the words
She drops everything, prospects
Empty paper cup  

.

2.

sun-kissed
my flowering on
your moonlit pond

.

3.

turning full
to your pleasure,
my trembling valley
.
4. Calla---
Nary a whisper
Nor a deep sigh, just quiet
Freshness, drowning weeds
.
5.

I like how you gaze
At the budding night, holding
Up your spiced hued kiss!

 .
6.
out of her black cloud
come the raindrops, rippling and
waking his ocean
.
7.
flutter tongue wings go---
spiced flavors you weave
among sky delectable
savory cuisine
.

Softly—
I dare lean onto,
A feather in a linger
And your lips so warm

.

8.

way up the sycamore---
a waning moon and
concurring burst of day hues
dawn's soliloquy

.

9.

coup de maître ---
the night svelte rapture
plump fruit of the deep wrinkle
a dream bursting dreams
.

10.

My fleur---
Islands flirt with swells
Skirts aflame sweet pansy air
Blooms toss for the kiss

.

11.

Haven under--

Dimming starlit haze
Clouds laden with grayer gaze

Mists leading nowhere
A worm inches on a twig
Imagining each leaf, home

.

12.

Far East ---
A moon dons thick veils
Trembling of her played out pelts
Night's silk, sweet sorrow

.

13.

covered--
I catch one red and
a flame, lost in sky's tropic
fall's curtain kisses

.

14.

And I---
walk through fire and rain
pigtailed breath of old and new
stories of blue moons

.

15.

Oh nuts---
I am in a dash
Tossed by winds and my curls fell
A bad hair Friday 

.

16.

Dawn---
Fragrance sprays blue mists
rich like scent of cool waters
soul floats transparent

.

17.

This red flaunts a fall
swooning over your last line,
"Autumn surrenders"

.

18.

A sound---
On a leafy swing
Words low-pitched, pause in deep sigh
Oblivion exhales 

.

19.

O---
intoxication
in human form, wash me nights
dark fire magnolias

.

20.

falling frail---
its moist rays of light
a satiny dream recedes,
half full breathing stars

.

21.

your piercing darkness
leaves a fire, bringing a dawn
curling ends of vines

.

22.

sunset---
nightfall satin lace
sky and earth darkening hour
blood sob on cello

.

23.

swept---
dry leaves sneak away
under guise of rain and wind
outskirts of a dream

.

24.

Reflections---
Luminous mirror
Undressing shadows naked
An autumn within

.

25.

Halloween howl---
A dog lifts one leg
Under night cloaks of masked thieves
A skeleton laughs

.

26.

A whisper insists
Unfolds a music so deep
Head on soft pillows

.

27.

whisperer---
face in fading ink
imagination remains
chains in my attic

.
