Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂Barely letting go
The glimmering of twilight
New painted blue door🍂

🍂The flowers blossom
Our stories are driven by
Who we are, wildly🍂

🍂I wish I knew you
Among the dizzy leaves of
A bright Maine autumn🍂

🍂What disappointment,
The clanking of glass bottles
All that’s left of you🍂

Five Fleas September 2024

 Seems to be a curse

The call of distant strangers

Never will be meet

Sunbloked face

Getting packages

At the door

Five fleas itchy, poetry 

Seashells

 Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂Light-hearted morning


Circles of the past lie out


Unbroken and true

When I was a child,🍂


Collecting rocks and seashells


The edge of water

Cup of marigolds


Wanting to be young at heart


To feel safe again

Better Than Starbucks

 Sarah Mahina Calvello produces her work using an association of ideas, an old Japanese technique.

 

🍂Anticipating

Flowers become cold

Under the hazy moon🍂

 

🍂Finding secrets

Left in the new grass garden

Stolen shadows🍂

 

(Stolen shadows might be an absence of light, the darkness beloved by Taoists.)

 

Walking down the path

Leaves turn to color

Waiting for the sun

Better Than Starbucks 

Might Have Been

🍂 what might have been

birds falling into deep blues

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🌙🍂Mother of pearl moon
Origami long shadows
Lonely and too long🌙🍂

🌙🍂Beautiful moonlight
This piecing back together
Maple canopy🌙🍂

🌙🍂Woozy moonlit glow
It started in a garden
Forgotten desire🌙🍂

All These Colors and Other Poems

All These Colors and Other Poems

By: Sarah Mahina Calvello

These Colors

🍂All these colors,
Combed and spun
Into fine spirals
Of cotton candy
Dying the sky
With a stretching sigh

Morning rose
Covers everything
With a patient brightness

Another day
 of rise and fall

The Postcard

For Michael Calvello

🍂Take me to the fields


Of golden green


Where the flowers bloom heavy


Against the scented sky
And trembling water

The path of bent grass


Leads to a path of bent grass


Leads to a group of quiet trees


Seeming alone


Even when they are together

Burnt green tears


In the distance


It won’t ever change
If you want to stay the same
—🍂

For Michael Calvello

Mine is an army of angels


Night brings out troubles to the light


Hanging on the smoky edge of dreams

Hazy silvers hide the light


Hidden clouds and trees like dark tears


Starts with a glimmer
Ends with a glow


It’s so hard to forget pain


But even harder to remember sweetness
~🍂

Sunset, Version Two

For Michael Calvello

🍂Mine is an army of angels


Night brings out troubles to the light


Hanging on the smoky edge of dreams

Hazy silvers hide the light


Hidden clouds and trees like dark tears


Starts with a glimmer


Ends with a glow


It’s so hard to forget pain


But even harder to remember sweetness🍂

Wildflower Sky, Bronze Porch Swing

 Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂The wildflower sky

Is overwhelmingly sweet

The bronze backyard swing🍂

🍂A deep-rooted tree

To sit under and nod off

Wild blue sky rolls on🍂
