Icy Stillness

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂Icy skies of white
Mug of chocolate coffee
Satisfies the soul

Fresh gingerbread bakes
It’s time for you to come home
This icy stillness🍂

Winter

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂🌙Winter’s fragile hush
A promise held in frosted
Brown barren branches

Winter’s icy breath
Chilling the waiting birch grove
Soft porcelain light

Icy sky of night
The midnight flowers nodding
In time with heartbeats🌙🍂

🍂Furnace

Italian blue rose
Unrequited love passes
Furnace rages on

The broken furnace
There’s always love to repair
Blue echoed quiet🍂

Zen Haiku

The Zen Space

New Year’s Showcase 2025

Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂The prism of light
catches the wind and I am 
there again with you

::

Sandalwood combing
Clear lapis moon
Nighty tea cup

::

Take me back to
Jade green fields 
To wonder under 

::

Wish lanterns 
Offered in marigold
Shades of gold

::

A full moon strikes
Pathways of your open heart 
Those eclipsing eyes

::

Persimmon tree blooms 
Perfuming my cup of tea 
Despite the chill wind🍂

::

Twilight

 Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂🌙Gentle teapot steam
Under twilight’s purple hue
A porcelain moon🌙🍂

Unspoken

 

🍂Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

Pre-dawn mysteries
Unspoken stories of a
Window’s silent view🍂

Trail, Grieving

 

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

🍂Trail of memories
Snapshots of reality
Pearls on a necklace

Grieving is haunting
The jagged road is curving
Distant sweet poppies🍂
