shelter me

overhead life swarms
towards sun broad leaves rustle
in the shade picnic

Haiku Horizon prompt, tree

brick by brick

show me your window
knock out a wall — better yet
lay within my arms

Haiku Horizon prompt

joys of suburban living

two roads bulldozed through
dying acidified woods
cell towers nearby

Haiku Horizon prompt

weeding relationship

solar heat constant
toxic emotions grow free
bitter truth raked up

Haiku Horizon prompt
Daily Post prompt

heather and thistle

chuckling play through gorse
frothy burn danced into loch
salmon served from tins

Haiku Horizon prompt

messy after storm

drop lingers on leaf
caterpillar eggs beneath
glossy litter gleams

Haiku Horizon prompt

flotation device required

sleek protein missiles
buoyantly swim into nets
filleted with cream sauce

Haiku Horizon prompt

it sounds so simple

milky wash rapture
sliver moon decorates limbs
enlightenment’s cusp

The Daily Post

chaperoned picnic

eyes match soft petals
delicate blossom trembles
sink into meadow

Haiku Horizon prompt

affair thwarted

foam raged stoic rocks
bridge caked with muck ~ peach blossom
fell ~ curves entranced eyes

glances sharp as scythes
fresh wheat for noodles ~ best slurped
when steamed open young

restless dreamscape chides
rounded moon sneaks through window
futon yields on back
pillowing head upon down
dew highlights laughing footprints
