The woman in gold
ethereal and divine
autumnal nouveau.

Send me directions
to the vast eternity
a map of the universe
so I can find you
when we no longer exists.

Today the wind arrived
in a rush of leaves
fleeing the trees
as though chased
by an October demon.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

night hush…
all but
the rain

#haiku #poetry

I read love poems
and totally sober
though drunk on words
I resist, I resist
calling you.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

I die a little bit every day
remembering the things
we didn't do
and now
we never will.

Sorry i'm late there were dark clouds in the crystal ball, you see

#haiku

stove light
casting the palest rainbows
through a mason jar

162.

Sunset on maples
stains the edges of its leaves
with a little gold.

#haiku #poetry #autumn

A red bird and a leaf
briefly race
tracing an invisible line
across the sky, too tired
the little leaf drops out.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

A tiny red leaf
waved at me
with exuberance
then soundlessly
and swiftly flew away.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

I'm buried beneath
a giant autumn leaf pile
please just leave me be.

I listen-
what was my heartbeat
is rain
#haiku #poetry

The little fishy
flower bubbles all around
swirled deeper down.

dark comes earlier
the little boat of the moon
capsized in the clouds

the grey autumn sky
falls into my arms
draped in amber leaves

dust mote
so cozy, floating
on a sunbeam

don't tell the moon
its pale light
found us
it knows too much
already

Rain and wind all day.
In late afternoon, trees glazed
With sudden sunlight.

still out
of the pit,
out of the
fire-
in a fluffy
cloud
surrounded
by choices
#poetry

Rambling river over rocks and stones with overhanging tree branches mainly of green but hints of autumn colors

paused on river's edge
summer slips beyond the bend
autumn rushes in

#haiku #HaikuSaturday #seasons #rivers #NewEngland #pioneervalley #ecology

Of grass blades & clouds
to touch & still long to touch
what is beyond reach.

Hero in a half
Shell, not yet broken, unbowed
Before nature's teeth.

My words stretched,
into one long sigh,
swept away,
on a length of
impossible sky.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

secret beach
I forget
where it is

My Sunday morning
unraveling in sweetness
dropped cinnamon bun.

#micropoetry #poetry #completethehaiga 117 #haiku #senryu

The world
is all beige & flame
where is the inbetween
some blues & peaceful greens
the sky keeps falling.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand

Today will be a day to focus on the taste of blushing nectarines, the memory of sea swimming at dusk in Italy, watching lavender mist roll down the cliffsides as the stars emerged, to go out & breathe in the fragrance of fallen pale bronze sycamore leaves, because all other news is horrendous.

only one pill left
in the big container
summer’s final moon
