Timed Writing, Writing, Writing as a Discipline

Haiku: California Daffodils

Posted by lenleatherwood on

 

A field of bright gold
Like thousands of caution lights
Atop grey green poles

Triangular flags
Surround fluted golden orbs
Shimmer in the breeze

Gray skies and storm clouds
Winter tree limb silhouettes
Swathed in golden cloth

    Delicious. ‘Gold’ and ‘golden’ give off evoke such brightness in contract to gray clouds etc..
