summer – Page 2 – Emotional Shadows

#TankaTuesday #SyllabicPoetry

Morning chill clutches me
despite the sun’s golden glow
purple hues don’t melt.
seasons change, young leaves flutter
I still wait at the window

***

bleeding bit by bit
a cracked heart treasures moments
of joyous summer
that would never come again
smoky clouds echo my thoughts.

***

fragrant breeze billows
fallen petals prophesize
smothering summer.
a thousand poems won’t soothe
incisive ache of my heart.

The kigo words: clouds, young leaves, fragrant breeze.

Thank you dear readers. If you like poetry, read more: Moments We Love

irksome muggy heat
bristles for sudden showers
oppressive August

***

dahlias toss their heads
scented breeze brings a message
we’re ready to go

***

carpenter bees buzz
some survive on sunflowers
fireflies mate and die

***

summer dresses match
colorful beach umbrellas
waves welcome surfers

***

summer sounds snug here
ocean fog flaunts amity
eternal allure

Thank you for your lovely support and reviews dear friends. I appreciate your kind gestures.

The day sun descended
With all his fire
To dilute the heat
Even clouds forgot to peep

I watched with a gasp
When an azure pool
Changed its color
Heat flew like splinters

Mother earth endured all
Breathing quiet messages
Branches stoop to offer shade
Moments of harmony sway

Now this pool knows magic
As it changes colors
Passion and serenity meet here
Moon lends its silvery glow.
