Whispered chaos swirls
distance rumbles forewarn,
sirens fill the air
Impending danger arrives
thunderous clouds clash, wind whips,
hook echo forms
Sun and moon poised
on a morrowless day
equinoctial time shift
Tanka
the night sky frolics
tomorrow sleeps, dreams dance on
imaginative trails,
whimsy skates on golden threads,
knitting our hearts together.
--
Vermilion cardinal,
pulchritudinous beauty,
resplendent splendor
against laden snowy branches,
exquisite encomium
--
Psithurism wind
of a wooed heart, suddenly
she catches her breath.
Though a weathered beauty,
time spins memories of you.
Titans clash wrapped in shrouded storms
habitat framers,
clever, charming artisan,
busy beavers.
celestial bodies
poised on a morrowless day
entering the old haunt
time ripples
tock, tick, tock-tock-tock,
rooted deep, salvia survives
thinnest yield of saffron
lies a sanguine hope
red, yellow, blue
lovely blend of earthy flavors,
lies a sanguine hope
saffron thread,
life rooted deep,
salvia survive
salvia can also represent healing, purity, and wisdom
Nature’s Fury
a prelude
whirlybirds in the wind
bliss ignorance
whispered chaos swirls
distance rumbles forewarn,
sirens fill the air
impending danger arrives
thunderous clouds clash,
wind whips, hook echo forms
wrapped by clouded storms,
dark tornadoes,
the March winds rumble
nature’s beauty shines
from the eyes of the beholder
beware of black bears
Winter’s Lace
Vibrant winter blooms
cast against a snowy canvas,
beneath brooding skies
First snow, falling softly,
Amaryllis’ view from the window,
warm thoughts.
A little ray of sunshine,
that banishes winter blues—
Winter jasmine.
Cold persistence
Periwinkle’s winter wink
Pansies thrive.
Deep into winter
Primrose’s delightful colors,
stand stark against the snow
Varied highs and lows,
February vacillates,
Snowdrops appear.
Narcissus’ beauty
shines for all to see,
defying winter’s hold
Colorful and sweet
Pansies’ cousin, Viola,
a winter survivor.
Glory-of-the-Snow,
star-shaped and whimsical,
greets winter’s end.
