frost-nipped, lingering
frail crimson petals clinging
’tis hope rooted deep

he called her ‘honey’
after he’d had too much wine
it made her skin crawl
dry with a tinge bittersweet
he never said it sober

shady forest hideaway
here the sky is green

Optical Illusion – A Haiku
I found this week’s photo prompt by TJ for his Household Haiku Challenge a bit perplexing. Blame it on my astigmatism! I stared long and hard trying to decide whether I was looking down at a reflective pool or through a rocky portal…hence my chaotic little out-of order Haiku. What do you see, now that I’ve planted that perspective in your head? Things are not always what they seem! 😉 This week’s prompt words with the synonyms I used for this week’s Haiku in parentheses are Chaos (muddle) & Order (tranquil).

tranquil tidal pools
or glimpse through Valhalla’s loam

Magnetic Poetry Monday
we are so easily charmed
by the sound of our own
voices, that listening has
become a lost art
