                                       twinkle in your eye

                                      redemptive poppies
                               swaying lace leaves flare softly -
                                          an invitation

                                        evening's last rays
                                   bride in orange velvet veil -
                                        freckles on the nose

A truly outstanding set of Haiku Anne-Lise. Totally enjoyable. So colorful, (and it makes me a lil hungry too).

Anne-Lise, it is my practice to AVOID using the word “beautiful” in my comments. But. Here you’ve written a beautiful poem IMHO. A FAV. Your work is taking over my Fav list! You gotta stop that or i’ll have to quit writing poems. Well, then again, don’t stop…Life Needs your poetry! Throwing roses over your feet! sally
