Persephone (haiku / senryu)

Demeter's blithe tears

daughter's return; shoots spring forth 

- autumn her despair

Next Generation

I fear for the next

generation's innocence 

- grief and hate-drenched hearts

their clear azure skies 

polluted by greed and war

- let love radiate

Eden (senryu)

serpentine tendrils 

cascade down her arched bare back

- echoes from Eden

The Blues (senryu/haiku)

marooned upon rocks

unknown waters encompass

- immersed in the blues

Unfold (haiku/senryu)

let me unfold, one

fragile petal at a time

- nectar lies within

Awoken (tanka)

My first and last thought

...body and mind, yearns for you 

Awoken my soul

...melted all inhibitions 

I see clearly... breathe anew

Light within (tanka)

Night invigorates

mind of possibilities; 

blanketed by day

Convention over shadows

own light simmering within
