Charmed Chaos
Charmed Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine
Myst-ery
Myst-ery, goddess with blue raven locks and eyes diablo green
but for the fiery torchlight burning between, she’s unseen
With deadly calm she lures you down the path of exile
tempting your sinful flesh with her feminine guile,
and though you know all the while
she sings to you a death melody
you care not for she is
your final destiny.

First Cherry Blossom
first cherry blossom
dancing in the gentle rain
sweet garden rebirth
first cherry blossom
braving winter’s cutting edge
bursting forth alone
dancing in the gentle rain
petals glistening
spring will follow soon
sweet garden rebirth
watercolors of new growth
lone blue tit trilling

Author’a Note: Chèvrefeuille has challenged us to write a fusion haiku from two of his haiku on the theme of cherry blossom. We are then to create a troiku from our fusion haiku. Below are the two haiku he has given us to work with:
standing naked
in awe of the first cherry blossom
dancing in the garden
on winter’s edge
the first Cherry blossom blooms
rain falls softly

Fresh as a Summer Rose
As your lips impose a kiss as fresh as a summer rose
My heart does leap and rejoice in a lilting prose
And I will never forsake the memories
wrapped in your arms, sweet reveries
dreaming together as one
loving from sun to sun.

Last Figs
In the winter, nights and mornings are chilly here in the desert. Rain showers are frequent, and the cactus are plump. The mesquite tree is losing it’s fern like leaves, creating a velvety blanket below it. Birds pick through the refuse to build nests. Southwestern wildflowers are revealing colorful faces as they bask in the afternoon sun.
first spring gust beckons
fresh green growth erupting forth
last figs decaying

Inca doves forage
pecking between rocks for seed
hawk’s wide-eyed prey
