in a hot bedroom
bonfires of desire heat up
to a fever pitch

Haiku

leaves of copper
hung from the autumn branches
as past medallions

rain's pitter patter
plops on my weathered roof
with dampening drops

in this part of Oz
there is an ancient spinster
who pines for love

a powder of frost
covers the bush land's terrain
on this cold June day

innate in the embryo
is a universal note
of endless promise

our village churchyard
is resplendent in sunlight
this Monday morning

this morn azure blue
reigns o'er the northern tablelands
radiant is its hue

over the landscape
presided a sky of blue
so brilliant in rule

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Jun 2018

Haiku

the blue of ocean
did meet with the blue of sky
on the horizon

was as if the two
hues of blue were the one shade
in that far off line

journeys on a night passage
over star lit skies

in our hour of greatest need
have faith in his word

people placed on unpaid leave
debacle now rules

the sky on this day
shows a wintry shade of grey
dismal its display

unto the earth's crust
soaking rains did pour down
quenching its dryness

the neighborhood cats
are partaking of kitty fun
they're getting it on

as day progressed
the signs of good rains grew less
bush skies were cloudless

out toward the west
last vestiges of day light
slowly reclined

pleated valley folds
stretched for miles unto
the far horizon

spring's first lovely kiss
twas an exciting new bliss
between the young hearts

donating persons
were regularly featured
on the front cover

those who had no funds
seldom did attain a post
to vanguard status

it might well be said
cash carry's so much gravitas
in fees of favour

minute dewdrops clung
onto the tall grass blades
earlier this morning

highlight every piece of bush
in a bright burnish

the landscape bathed
in an indigo blue shading
on this sunny bright day

on a gentle breeze
fluffy dandelion seeds
did saunter around

along the shoreline
the lovers slowly walked
on that moonlit night

evening draws down
the last vestiges of light
sunken to the west

an ill did blow in
on the east's virulent wind
carrying a malady

shall burst forth from their buds
into a gala show

a convoy of trucks
thundered down the main drag
of our small township

clouds smudged in grey
are floating over our town
out towards the hills

love is a bouquet
filled with the bloom's embrace
of scented flowers

war is a maddness
causing much too much saddness
let saneness prevail

atop the east hills
an outer edge of sun rays
were seen early this morn

in shallow waters
newly hatched fingerlings
swam with swishing tails

glimmering sunlight
danced o' er the lake's surface
in a glister's jig

midst the sparkling stars
sailed a luminous moon
chartering night seas

to impart your love
is akin to giving life
inhale its oxygen

with a ***** sear
the sun scorched the landscape
in fervent ardor

a carpet of light
lit the forest's arcane floor
in firefly flares

on this hot Monday
a person thirsts constantly
the throat dry of well

the narow river
slowly snaked a passage
through the wooded glen

elms in the front yard
have started to exhibit
autumn's amber hues

a faint pencil line
marks dusk's far off horizon
in day's curtain close

a half crescent sun lies o'er
the western sky line

stars are appearing
in the expansive bush skies
each one twinkling bright

volleys of thunder
resound across the bush sky
this late Monday night

on a white wave curl
the surfer's arms balanced
to keep him upright

bright sunlight splinters
cut slender pathways down to
the vale's dim lit floor
