Solstice Moon

egg shell beige canvas
brush hairs kiss painter’s easel
silver blood moon shines
Author notes
Haiku:
Haiku, is a 17 syllable poem broken into 3 lines of 5,7 and 5 syllables respectively.
Originating in Japan, Haiku means "beginning phrase". The rules for this type of poetry are it must refer to something in nature, and represent a season. It is written in the present tense.
Here are some that I have written;
Golfers Heaven
trimmed greens invite play
eagle putt circles and drops -
I dance with my club.
Summer Memories
soaked under clear skies
water shoots from the sprinkler -
dripping in butter.
Yard Work
Metal prongs - gather
Fallen hands from outright arms
Green blades breathe again

Gregg, you and i both know how i could go on and on about this, both of us painters; you, the good one...me, the struggling one, the familiar smells and textures of paint and canvas, the subtle sliding of pigments rich and soft, gentle and often nearly erotic. This is a brilliant haiku and i so wish i could write them. (mine come out more like ‘fake-ku’) I will let others take the time find the wonderful meaning lining the last phrase of a silver blood moon shines . Gregg you have such depth, it is often lost to so many who fail to stop, pause and inhale the fragrance of your poetry.
Blessings and best wishes, ♥ ~richard ♥
