#Choka #Syllabic #Poetry

Cold Dew

Cold dew diffuses
rainbow colors I admire,
first rays of sun glint
on the leaves of juniper,
morning chill drapes me
I walk by the vibrant trees 
leaves fill the sidewalk
the child in me takes delight
in stepping on them and smile

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

A choka is an intricate form of Japanese Poetry with lines that alternate between five and seven syllables, with the final line being an extra seven-syllable line. The choka poem may be any length.

I would be traveling for the next three weeks. See you in the last week of November. Thank you.

For more poetry: here is my poetry book –  Fusion – my latest release.

Or hang out with  Hues Of Hope
