with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions

within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

Positively StunningI used to be obsessed with fashion, caring far too much about clothes,
Like the sun whenever he's coming and going, is striking vanity's pose.
I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,

Haikuverse HarvestJanuary juxtapose
More cold now
Beyond hot heat!
Cold cold air
Windy surprise;
Minus heat therapy?
Winding way whirls
Shiver seeding shiver

Windy detours
New year in late January,
Oozing days forfeit;
Scent of the times!
Why do...
