Homage to Haiku

Haiku Poetry

By Morgan Georgia BlanksPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Submerged in darkness,

the warmth presses in and eyes

close in surrender.

A fiery glow

spreading across the pale blue,

sinking with the passing time

A sea of purple in Spring

with the buzz of bees,

the humidity lingers

Empty bottles lie

on these lonely cobbled steps,

with not a soul left.

A single smile can

lift sorrowed spirits before

darkness consumes them.

Alone you wait and

he's there with a cigarette,

neither of you move

A salty taste on

lips that speak of the ocean,

as if it were home.

A sea of colour,

a petal of every kind

dancing in the wind

You breathe fire like

a dragon with your harsh words,

and you burn us all.

Autumn leaves rustle

beneath feet on muddy ground,

and birds sing the hymn.
