Done for A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration. A minimum of three words from the set of ten to be used in our prose or poetry.
Ancient Whispers
ancient calls
mystical whispers
from the winds
lonely hearts
dance the cha-cha cha in tune
drumbeats of our land
2
drum beats of our land
calls me with ancient rhythms
my fevered heart leaps
3
my fevered heart leaps
at smouldering of your eyes
that ancient promise

Done for A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration. The prompt is Fire. My poem is another try at the Cinquain.
First line: a one-word subject or title.
Second line: two adjectives which describe the subject.
Third line: three verbs relating to the subject.
Fourth line: four words forming a phrase, sentence, or set of feelings relating to the subject.
Fifth line: one word which summarizes the poem.
The second and more traditional type is simpler and requires only that the pattern of syllables per line in the poem is 2, 4, 6, 8, 2. I combined both rules. 🙂
Fire
passion’s
luminous heat
flickers to taunt my breath
set me ablaze with your special
branding

Lovely folks, this is just to say Hi and let you know that I miss you all each day. So much going on in my life right now and I hope that by the time I’m back I will have good news for you. 🙂 Until then here’s a haiku from my WIP to keep you missing me. 🙂 🙂
Brand Me
haunt my waking thoughts
with your luminous branding
for dusk cometh soon

Done for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku with HA. This week, we are to analyze everything that we can at this very moment of time and write a haiku or tanka or both to commemorate these few moments of this day of our lives.
All Woman
woman, all woman
unbound by these static lore,
daring to ascend
2
passionate woman
power of the written word
burning in my soul
3
shamelessly woman
these breasts pulsate with desire
for him of my dreams
my womb tastes sweet agony
of birth pangs, cries all is well.

the verdant splendour
of these hypnotising spread
silenced, I exhale
at nature’s gift to summer
and man’s passion to explore

morning sun
sets garden ablaze
burning kiss

hot tongues
greet the rising sun
no need for words
3
keep it hot and sweet
this desire to eat your lips
vanilla ice

Reds And Violets
among the lush greens
a peek of reds and violets
rendering me mute
this bouquet of a smile, love
pulsates my breathe with fire
