A delight to the eyes
Bright and bold, soft and fragile
The flowers of summer
Haiku

A delight to the eyes
Bright and bold, soft and fragile
The flowers of summer
Haiku

Poppy
Draped in crepe
Orange hued petals
Alive with fragility
Wind dances
Cinquain

Dressed up in
Paper dresses
And paper shoes
Pray for no rain
Syllabic Verse

Boxes
All shapes
And all sizes
Like people
They hold things inside
Secrets, treasures, dreams
Or maybe unwanted things like
Bitterness, unforgiveness
Handle all boxes with care because
They can be damaged inside and out
Etheree

Blooms
Withered
Growing old
Stems now fragile
Petals paper thin
Heads beginning to droop
Yet their sweet fragrance wafts
The room fills with their pleasant scent
And my eyes only see their beauty
Reverse Nonet
