Ghostly



pale like a ghost 
she screamed so loudly until
white sheet fell away


~0~0~

ghostly encounters
real or imagined scenes
gives me frightful dreams


~0~0


unsociable, shy  
she was a ghost of herself
living in the past

Autumn in October




russet leaves peek
at old wooden barn
seams bursting with
harvest of corn and wheat,
summer's hay stacked high

long slender arms twirl
the cool winds whispering     
coppery meadow, until  
dust brown leaves sleep,
falling into arms of mother earth

amidst dark murky waters
bright ray of sunshine

Autumn



the tree greeted me
vibrant colours of autumn 
sunny homecoming


maple leaves on ground 
orange, yellow, red splashes
nature's lively dance  



Posted for Haiku Heights:    Prompt # 90 is Vibrant.    I have arrived home after a two week travel to visit my family.   I woke up this morning with the maple leaves scattered all over the garden.

Impossible dreams

purple, red colors
brightening gray horizon;
garden on roof top

~0~0


i search stars above
unblinking in what can be;
possibilities

~0~0


i hold burning torch
steady in my hands; seeking
curtain of silence






For Haiku Heights:   Prompt 89 - is Impossible

Thoughts

white jasmine flowers
scattered on carved wooden feet, 
favors for the Gods

~


chasing the sun's tail
above spaces of white clouds,
pale moon puffed and huffed 


~


pockmarked red apples
basket of handpicked harvest;
black crows all in rows




~


butterfly wings framed
adorning white walls; pricking
skin of conscience



~


pink frangipani
falling on rusty park bench;
rose scent stirring crypt


~


yellow maple leaves
falling on wide brim straw hat;
early prognosis
