Sam Kauffman Poet Haiku

Reveille

reveille

morning mists surf winds
 spins and twirls over dark hills ~
  summer sun sleeps in

daybreak paints with mists
 dawn tumbles out of darkness ~
  shadows turn amber lilac

miniature raindrops
 decorate fine silk spun webs ~
  first light bathes in dew

hazy cloud blankets
 dozing streams as meadows stir ~
  sunrise ritual 

clouds turn inside-out
 cleaning off dusty tree boughs ~
  dawn takes a shower

Panagiota Romios September 5, 2023 at 8:01 PM You are so fantastic at Haiku..I write one! It’s so hard,.. It seems like second nature to you))) But, I do admit to not having enough patience plus your vivid imagination. The title is superb ….as are you, Pangie xx

Ink Empress August 29, 2023 at 9:50 PM The way you paint imagery and connect every haiku with another and make them flow is beyond impeccable. You have an artistic and imaginative mind, that paints such vivid sceneries with words so eloquently. I love those shadows turning lilac, cloud burst and raindrops, how you’ve touched so many elements of nature is so beautiful! Very well crafted and delivered
