For certain memories
time stands still
and for a moment
the pain is searingly fresh
The loss makes you realize
what matters most
An aching reminder
of what it means
to truly love
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #242: Time
Slivered thumbnail moon
blowing smoke ring clouds
into an astronomical Stargate
Come fly with me
through a fantastical wormhole
of the imagination
Fervent inferno of color
Engulfs the evening horizon
Quenched to smoldering ash
Soft nocturnal stillness descends
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #214: Inferno
Deep summer
The first night
Of singing locusts
You reached for my hand
As shadows elongated
Sunset lullaby
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #182: Shadow
Bathed in amber gloam
Fond memories of childhood
Lonely half moon smile
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #161: Remembrance and Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Carpe Diem #1539 Autum’s Voice (ali no koe) (classical kigo)
Nothing man builds
Stands out in comparison
To mother nature
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #142: Standout
Tucked into the horizon
Blankets of vertical clouds
Steal a goodnight kiss
I fade to black
