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 catch my short form @strandpoet on twitter
