A Haibun Abstraction

a haibun ABSTRACTION
The soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,shadowing the speckled sallow saffron 
a bluish buff upon the cochineal;brilliant boneblack grizzled the engrain
citrine carnation as the fallow flaxen,rustic rubrical rainbow-tinted 
the magenta mandarine;unseen the ultra-marine, tinged burnt sienna,
reflecting a golden flame of raw umbery upon the earth green;bright mosaic gold
mottled the sallow sorrel virent yellow,oak stained the pale apricot;while
blood red,reddish russetdotted the olive lind;freckled crimson,a chestnut maroon,
on fuchsias faded apple green as burnt rumber sank deep into its sanguine slumber.

I walk through the glade
abstractions enlighten me-
colour my rainbow

you hear me recite this haibun and much of my PS poetry on youtube unfer my pen name ichthyschiro
