Velvet Bloom

fragrant velvet crush
urn on crystal verge adorned
spooky sylvan shade

Date posted and created on Poetry Soup : 24 August 2020

Contest : Haiku - Color with Alliteration  

Sponsor : Tania Kitchin

NB
In case of any ambiguity Velvet is the requisite contest color.
Crystal is a solid substance with regular geometric features.
Verge is an edge.

Hi Howard. Thank you, I just learnt (Google) that Sylvan is a woodland troll. Is your colour crystal? I like the indoors/ outdoors contrast feel of your Haiku.

Hi Sigrid, Thanks for soup mail visit and review of this work. I’m pleased you liked the contrasts. Velvet is the colour which must be included in contest entry as it is one of the qualifying conditions. Crystal on this occasion is a solid substance with geometric features. Hopefully that clarifies the colour crystal issue. Howard
