William Kelii Kekaula Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Flames of the Evergreen

Flames Of The Evergreen


Rusty sunbelt clench

a rosette of scarlet peaks,

…puffed lipstick trees dip.


Vermilion blossoms

surface on a marooned lake,

blushing a pale shade.


Petals shed to a

subtle red, 'still in the pink',

their ardor of Spring.

Sam Kauffman December 7, 2020 at 12:39 PM Your haiku string is really "in the pink!" So many luscious and delicate images - almost like spun pink sugar, William! Sending you congratulations on your win! And Aloha! William Kelii Kekaula December 7, 2020 at 1:06 PM Thank you, Sam, as I did correct it into a haiku form where the magic took over, thanks again my friend, Aloha!
