Eileen Manassian Poet Haiku

Honeysuckle Promise- Haiku Triology

gentle evening breeze
honeysuckle perfumed air
promise of summer

inhale of sweetness
floral scent of paradise
memories linger

stars sparkle down smiles
fullness of what is to come
moment eternal

Eileen Manassian Ghali

It was a warm evening. I had just come back from the office. I got out of the car and the scent of honeysuckle enveloped me in magic. It was one of those moments, that you can't describe....so rich...so...full of promise and life....a moment where you are lead to believe that the world is beautiful, the universe close, and eternity in your grasp. This scent brings with it memories. I was filled with bliss. I don't usually do haiku...but...here it is. I hope you enjoy it! Hugs

Debbie Duncan April 1, 2014 at 3:15 PM I know well the feelings you convey here. The smell/ aroma just takes you in. It just gives you a "free" feeling :) I'm glad you liked my The Dancer " poem.

Richard D Seal March 24, 2014 at 6:40 PM I once had this honeysuckle grow all over my garden shed, boy does it go wild, somewhat like you my little Desert Orchid lol. I must say well done on this, haiku not really my thing, but you have made this wondrous. Take care, Richard

Painted Hunter March 19, 2014 at 10:37 AM Look at you crankin' out the haikus! I like them, Eileen....and the scent of honeysuckle is very familiar to me...brings good memories and the thought of spring... Eileen Manassian March 19, 2014 at 1:34 PM Caleb...your words are a boost to my morale! :) Thank you....Yes...strange how a scent can mean so much. I spent eight years of my life in Iran, before the revolution. I can honestly tell you...I lived in paradise. We had a beautiful compound..on the foot of the Elbruz mountain range...Beautiful trees...weeping willows, walnut, mulberry, apple, apricot, cherry, plum. Such luscious fruit. We had pool...in summer, we wouldn't wear clothes. We'd just pull on our swimsuits and swim the day away...the feel of grass under my feet...squished mulberries. Scents bring images, memories, feelings. Honeysuckle is an undefinable...I just remember...sweetness...goodness of life...of being alive

Robert Pettit March 17, 2014 at 3:01 PM Nice triple dose of warm weather haiku. It snowed one more time here in New Jersey while spring is only four days away. Good write Eileen. Eileen Manassian March 17, 2014 at 3:07 PM :) Yes, we have had an unusually warm winter. No snow for the ski resorts to open. Last week we had a deluge of rain...People flocked to the mountains to catch a glimpse of snow. I feel with you all! Snow is nice...in the right amounts! :)
