Carrie Richards Poet Haiku

Valentine Haiku

.
 

a day’s diary
   turns to unwritten pages….
       a new sun rises

from smoldering dark,
   a spark ignites heart of dawn…
       flames kindle the hills    
      
darkness falls away
  like the velvet rose petals....
      a gold ring of sun

soft slippered skies watch 
    while drowsy earth awakens….
        garlands of pink clouds

sun kisses the frost
     with glittery lace designs…
         dapples of white glass
        
begging attention,
     the garden bursts into bloom…
        valentine bouquet

all the red roses
   stand tall with unabashed pride…
      birds sing from the heart





P.S.  Each morning sunrise is a valentine's gift. :)

Debra Squyres January 8, 2012 at 5:14 PM A beautiful garden bathed in bright sunshine...for the eyes to feast upon. Simply wonderful haiku's !!! You'd have my vote for 1st with this one. Enjoyed much !!

Joe Flach January 8, 2012 at 1:28 PM Wow! Each individual haiku is a masterpiece of it's own, but strung together, they paint a Sistine Chapel-like extravaganza. It's like a boquet of beautiful roses, each a perfect flower, but even more powerful as a boquet. Good luck in the contest! Glad to hear that you treat each sunrise as your own valentine's gift - what a great outlook on life. Joe

Barbara Gorelick January 7, 2012 at 10:56 PM Love the last one...birds do sing from their heart. What a nice piece. BG

Russell Sivey January 7, 2012 at 9:34 PM Wow Carrie that is a majestic write! You are the king of a sunrise! I know you have written of other lovely things in your poem, I just am very impressed with the sunrise descriptions! So impressed I took ideas from your poem and wrote my own poem of sunrises! Thank you for the inspiration! Awesome Work!! Russell Sivey January 7, 2012 at 9:35 PM Sorry Carrie, I meant you are the QUEEN of a sunrise....not KING like I put in the comment, sorry about that!!

Tim B January 7, 2012 at 8:57 PM Very nice, particularly liked the fourth 'sun kisses the frost' et cetera. Imagery was excellent and I think your play on the the theme will be more original. Good luck in the contest.
