No Pills
I don't want that pill,
Just let me spill
All over yon grassy hill,
The way of words is rain that fills
A cup of tea boiled black
Whilst midnight's moon turns its back
Backlit stage illumines my lack.
I won't take colorful pills
Till the script is magniloquent
As I lean above gated fence,
Trotting on with rhetorical sense,
Bridling the larynx in spit spate
Floods of hearts blood, drenched,
Pricked and pickled by ostrich quills.
Just let me spill
All over yon grassy hill,
The way of words is rain that fills
A cup of tea boiled black
Whilst midnight's moon turns its back
Backlit stage illumines my lack.
I won't take colorful pills
Till the script is magniloquent
As I lean above gated fence,
Trotting on with rhetorical sense,
Bridling the larynx in spit spate
Floods of hearts blood, drenched,
Pricked and pickled by ostrich quills.

Browz
Makeup on,
The brows
Define me.
The brows
Define me.

Hatching Eggs
They gave me enough to think about
Sitting in my chair
Standing atop the stairs
Unawares...
What I should do when I go out
Is tend the garden
Make more warding's,
Improvements...
Who I am blends with me past
Cleansing the mundane
Cracking open of chest
Heartily...
But healing is sluggish, goopy,
Syrupy messes for mops
Mind gone to the slops
Scrambled.

Paint Sky Haiku
Paint skies with rainbows
Kaleidoscopes of dreamland's,
Bleeding ink of Katrix

Tree Haiku
Sentient trees bend
When the Source of wind is hard
Surmised by leaves

Surmised by leaves

Cabin Fever
Intense anxiety
Releaved by walking on grass
Picking up bare sticks

Silver Haiku Triad
Where yon sublight is
Is where shadows stand out most
Mostly to new eyes
Age brings all the greys
All the colors running down
A canvas of steel
Now and then red beams
From the silver moon and stars
Just because love's here.
Is where shadows stand out most

Jade daffodils peep up
From unripen'd earth

Gothic Quatrains
She blackened eyes and hair
Hair held in a bun with black snood,
Oh, how it felt so glorious there
Under the creepy stairs.
She put clove ash on eyebrows, dare
Raised or lowered her mood
To match her elegant stare
Under the haunted stairs.
She wore drab ashen dresses with flair
Swishing while passing your door,
Oh, how frightening the nights fair
Under the veil she wears.
Hair held in a bun with black snood,
Oh, how it felt so glorious there
Under the creepy stairs.
She put clove ash on eyebrows, dare
Raised or lowered her mood
To match her elegant stare
Under the haunted stairs.
She wore drab ashen dresses with flair
Swishing while passing your door,
Oh, how frightening the nights fair
Under the veil she wears.

Funky Friday Haiku
Grooving and moving
Listening to the rocking
Rolling of the waves.
Fashionable nights
Chill with symphonic delights
Under the moonlight
Listening to the rocking
Rolling of the waves.
Fashionable nights
Chill with symphonic delights
Under the moonlight

Pink Haiku
Cherry blossoms pale
In comparison to hearts
Peaceful harmony.

Yellow Haiku
Saturday spins yarn
Of golden leaf and tawny
Daydreams aureate.
Of golden leaf and tawny
Daydreams aureate.
