Paul Callus Poet Haiku

Sound, Hues and Juice

a gentle breeze
   tinkling wind chimes
   her voice

   reflected
   within her eyes
   the sky

   sunlight gleams 
   upon the stream 
   her flowing hair

   rose petals
   blushing
   cheeks and lips

   slithering
   down her neck
   peach juice and kisses
