dainty daffodil
your golden trumpet fanfares
the dawning of spring

Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven

Written on 18th February 2 days before my father died

afterglow
dark ripples still warm
from sunrise

thick blanket of snow
snuggling the flowerbeds 
with a winter wrap

pink marshmallow clouds
tinted by the setting sun
artist mixes oils

Nature's wake from sleep
Life flirts with beauty
a time for flowers to flaunt

writing as I drift

   on the ocean's endless blue. . . 

                     my soul over        flows

red flames of desire
as I hold my lover close. . . 
the sky has caught fire

diamond dewdrops
glisten on gossamer threads
morning has broken

cold-cling of Winter
wrapped in sweaters, wound in scarves —
fashion for snowmen

magenta pink sky
songbirds singing melodies -
peony opens

liquid little stones
skipping and skittering free
on shared umbrellas

Gullies scar brown earth
     Hurricanes bring erosion
          Of both soil and lives

~twice the beauty~


in the sea of love 
reflection of the night 
a wave moves


~SKAT~

"Haiku of enlightenment"

all explanations 
a perceptive, world of green
mocking the land

summoned bird calls
tantra and morality 
zestful garden-----------------  in waiting 

by;pd

Sealing eyes of sky,
       Descend upon straps of light,
Dusk…now dreams the night...

emerald green growth
dresses the rocks and pebbles
natural velvet

a child plays alone

watching from behind a tree

the predator smiles

before melting---
her eyelashes' flicker
with my every breath

paper boat--
how far will it carry
my child's smile

======================

between shapeless clouds

the first peak of sunbeams

on rippled waters

Indian summer. . . 
a gathering of leaves dance 
quietly to death

Breathless and beguiled
 Nature blankets my lone dreams
   Swallowing me whole





Written by: Amber Plocica
For Mr. Moreno's Haiku contest

Purple butterfly
Bush grows weary with its load
Covered with gold wings

       summer's lavish brush
canvas stroked in billowed swirls…
    daydreams framed in blue
