unlocked heart

red bouquet,
home made apple pie,

bright as new door keys,
open roads

To eat apple pie for evermore

Intelligent and emotional....a wonderful combo in photo and haiku....well-done
ReplyDeleteLove the image "morning sun, bright as new keys."
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the colors that you have used to craft this!, colorful haiku :0
ReplyDeleteI am actually surprised at the colors comments but I am happy you like the play of it. My inspiration is the biblical take on the Prodigal Son for the first part of my post ~
DeleteLike the run around in the first ones from start to finish, and yeah always new roads.
ReplyDeleteGrace, this is a beautiful collection. I loved the progression!
ReplyDeletemorning sun, apple pie, new door keys, all so welcoming.
ReplyDeleteYour words and the meter truly reminds me of Japanese haiku. And I love that white door and blue doorknob. Is it on your house?
ReplyDeleteThe poetry forms are haiku indeed. No, the picture is not from my home ~ Thanks for the lovely words ~
DeleteGrace
