Sarah Mahina Calvello conveys both a deep appreciation of the world around her and a playful approach to sweets and sensual delights. She offers admirable examples of the “neo-haiku,” poems that stray from my beloved 5-7-5 form.
🍂Ube ice cream
After being too long in the sun
Such a relief🍂
🍂Cinnamon sugar coffee is soft
Hits my tongue and makes me smile
Sweet reprieve🍂
🍂Seeing the ocean again
Makes me remember how you used to
bring me shells back
Weeping and falling long seagrass🍂
(The seagrass loads this beautiful piece with a Zen component.)
🍂I love
When the city is quiet in daylight
So rare🍂
🍂🌙I stare at the moon
Transfixed
Nestled under dissolving mist🌙🍂
🍷🍂A secret
Spilled onto murmuring roots
Over a glass of spilled 🍷🍂
Sarah Mahina Calvello
Better Than Starbucks
