Summer San Francisco Valentine




                Summer San Francisco Valentine



                 Your heart beats in me 
                 Loving you seasonlessly
                 Under summer stars


 
                 Our silk kimonos
                 Bamboo fever, Powell Street
                 A cable car clangs

I think these haikus are both resplendent in their imagery, and they pierce to the 'heart of the matter.' The second one actually jarred me, as if I heard the cable car (bell) clanging. Left me breathless, in a good way. Superb penning, Panagiota! Joy and Light, Gershon

Oh, thank you, Gershon. Those cable bells still ring for me. I can hear them! I loved penning this one. Glad you were pleased. Happy 4th, Panagiota

Andrrea! I recall you telling me about Hayward! I lived 4 eventful, beautiful years in Bagdad by the Bay! Probably, the best four years of my life. I only left so Maria could attend a non-drug and non-gun filled High School in Walnut Creek which I loved. It was so small then, homey and loving! Panagiota xx
