SEVEN HAIKU

Insistent ocean

You beguile me with your dreams-

Beckoning always

Thoughts like autumn leaves

Twist into fluttering piles-

Or drift on, alone

_________________________________

Gentle forest path

Whisp’ring pools of light, green gold

Butterflies, birdsong

_________________________________

Soft city lights shine

And those velvet heaven stars-

The eyes of strangers

_________________________________

What is there; will be?

Atoms, sunlight, fire and dreams

Everything; always

Suddenly: a girl

Sunshine, perfume, swaying hips

My poor heart explodes

Springtime promenade

Sun-kissed girls and sweet perfume

Tomorrow? Who cares!
