Summer's End
Burning like fever in the spring
our love affair was on the wing
then drifted away on the summer wind
now I'm thinking of you
how good it used to be
holding on to precious memories
and every teardrop has a tale to tell
every teardrop fills a wishing well
changing like autumn leaves that fall
your love it comes and goes
then melts away...

Matsuo Basho English Translations: Spring 1Matsuo Basho Haiku: English Translations of haiku about seasons, spring, rain, moon, flowers, blossoms, wind, river, etc.
Blame the rainy season
for my absence,
old friend Moon.
—Matsuo Basho, translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
For yet a little while,
the pale moon
floating among blossoms...

Moon past full:
darkness
increasing.

Spring rains
so heavy
they overflow...

What Comes Again
after “Sonnet 73,” by William Shakespeare
That time of thaw you may in me perceive,
When brittle ice lets go of the laid root,
And greening buds, too shy to disbelieve,
Start over in calmness, tender and mute.
I am not fire dying out in the coals,
Not even yellowed branches that retreat—
But breath slowly returning to the roles
Of things once...

A Season of Smiles - Updated x2In January, the kaboom of fireworks
Redefining glitter above us: What if
The sky was pink, should purple rain besmirch us
Yet, don a cheer for New Year.
In February, the appearance of bouquets, cordate chocolates
Many secret loves trespassing sticky notes
Lovely nothings hang mid-air.
In March, the hope of summer
springing like anxious fledglings pushed off their perch
Rain becomes wet...

Summer's LamentI was already drowning but I missed the rain
I hate the heat and the way
I fall victim to the suns fury
He tricks me in spring with his warm rays
Enticing me with trickles of light that dance between the blooming trees
A waltz of flowers , a delight for my eyes
How quickly he turns, a...

Sing Along With Summer
Summer stares, graceful
as the quiet chirps
birdsong, let’s sing along…
joy unfolding, on wings
listening for His voice
in the heart, the soul, anyplace
growing old, while the summer
restores the heart, the soul
breaking out in sweats of golden
sunlight, bursting from the heat
melodies so sweet…
gently playing against the ache
of a silent knowing,
His love unfolding, like a distant
star, reflecting all...

Southern heat wave bluesIt’s ninety one but feels like more,
Like I opened up the Devil’s front door.
He said “Come on in!” with a fire breath grin
Now I’m sweatin' places I ain’t ever been.
The sidewalk’s cookin’ eggs on the sly,
Birds stopped chirpin', too hot to fly.
Even my dog gave me that judgmental look,
Like, “Take me out again and you’re...

A Seasonal AffairA frigid spell of arctic air
adorns the tranquil western scene;
a stunning glimpse of fall’s affair
with spring’s vivacious flower queen.
When autumn’s cooling wind combines
with April's warming playful breeze,
a whirling tempest paints designs
on grounds of winter’s icy freeze.
On sculptured hills of milky snows
October's tepid finger strolls,
and May's...

Of Whispers and Winds
Winds whisper ‘Arrival' come Spring
Departure in November
January’s gusts inhabit every crack and crevice
Summer’s banners lie limp against their poles

Tab 75I hope that the sun melts away
And the air gets quietens down
Soon
I’ll be waiting here
For the light to leave my shoulders
And the winds to get cooler
It’s a shame
That things like this become
Something to be feared
The seasonal swings graze
My ear
And I’ve only just started summer break
But I’m tired of the beating sun
Down my back

Tab 8Tab 8
The summer pains will
Go away; and once winter breaks
Problems become numb
The snow and cold air
Soothe your sunburns, and the lake
Of your mind freezes in the mint
For the first time in
A while, even though your nose
Is red- there is peace
But the harsh winds get
Repetitive over time
You crave the sunlight
And when you know
It...
