all over
Scarlet setting sun surrendered serene silvery moon,
And bold beauteous blackness is bursting with blooms!
In wide wilder windswept spaces without ivied walls,
Perennial pleasures recur, as a perfumed night falls.
Yellow canaries still croon in collaborative chorus,
Long after a laudable late afternoon's honeyed plus,
As capricious catching colors charm evening for us!
in sun and weather
they blossom many colors
as beauty hovers
M-ake your life abloom,
I-nstead of being gray;
D-o thrive in your health,
A-s you smile everyday.
S-o make your life abloom,
T-hursday fifteenth of February;
A-im to flourish in vigor,in freshness, and in beauty.
M-ay you keep your eyes aglow,
A-llow them to fill the empty room;
R-apture replaces the blue,
I-f you make your life
A-bloom.
lush green meadow
abloom with white daisies --
a raindrop falls

Entered in PD's "Your Own Favorite Haiku" Contest
Autumn's affect appears altruistically.
Almost always alluring affection.
Attracting adorations admiration.
Aloof attitudes adjust amidst autumn abloom.
