Medusa’s Kitchen Haiku Medley

 🍂Crumbling flower steps

Outing to Sutro baths

Foggy ocean tide🍂

      ~

🍂Rose gold sunset

Lights the barren skin lovely

Echos of what was🍂

      ~

🍂Around in circles,

Just going through the motions

Making lemonade🍂

-

🍂Fragmented blue bowl

Reminds me to be connected

In the chaos life🍂

      ~

🍂Throwing cracker crumbs

Out the window for the birds

The nighttime buffet🍂

      ~

🍂The existing change

Mustn’t force things too quickly

Flowers bloom and fade🍂

-

🍂Pink sunset lamppost

The distance of wondering

Passing time and clocks🍂

      ~   

🍂Still garden violets

Steady sanctuary site

Dark purple angels🍂

      ~

🍂Deep pink and blushing

Carefree wondering rose winds

Under red skies🍂

      ~

These echo of thoughts

The labyrinth of solitude

Calla lily moon

Today’s LittleNip:

When composing a verse let there not be a hair’s breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.

―Matsuo Bashō
