Softly

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🌙🍂Softly in twilight
Scarlet berry blossoming
Glistens on the branch🍂🌙

Awen , Four Haiku and one Tanka

 For Leyla

She is as pretty as

Yellow jasmine curling up

To the wild sun

--

Such a bright blessing 

Breathless colors layering up

Fills an absent sky 

A heartbreak I didn't choose

Your words are like a caress

-

For Kyle 

 🍂His castle of cans

His Coca Cola has fallen 

Way of gamer life🍂

-

🍂Icy grasses

The solitude of a 

Family picnic 🍂

-

🍂All tilted smiles 

There's no need for symmetry

Moon flower beauty🍂

-

🍂Stars and fireflies 

Counting and recounting them

It cannot be done 🍂

Summer Rain Sleepwalking, Memory Lane

🍂Summer rain sleepwalking

In a new trench coat

Posing for flowers🍂

🍂Evening shadows

Growing in blue ovals

Memory lane🍂

Shine

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🌙🍂Mist across windows
Holds graceful lines suspended
Nothing hides the shine🍂🌙

Warning Sign and jeweled moon

🍂A warning sign

On the road ahead

Jagged turbulence🍂

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

🌙🍂Jeweled moon

On the precipice

Of belonging🍂🌙

Curtains

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂Hanging up curtains
Cobalt petals cascading
Do you miss me, dear?🍂
