Candy

I took too deep a bite

Of your poisoned toffee apple;

Sweet on the surface,

But venom in my veins.

Trace – A Haiku

With your restless hands,

Trace my curvaceous outline:

An abstract portrait.

Reclaimed – #writephoto

 

Dilapidated.

Crumbled walls, rotten rafters,

Exposed, derelict,

Structure reclaimed by Nature;

Cosy cottage no longer.

L’Automne

 

Indian Summer bathes

Bordelais bounty ablaze

Ground luxuriantly carpeted

In autumnal opulence

Beyond the Sea – A Haiku

 

Land piers out to sea

In search of the horizon

Ever out-of-reach.

Hints of Summer – A Tanka

Summer’s soft sweet breath

Gently warms the waiting world,

And with sun-flamed lips

She kisses all with brightness

To highlight Nature’s glory.

Morning Dew – A Haiku

Dew-spotted blanket,

Each green blade crystal-budded;

Sea of emeralds.
