Sample Sunday: haiku from my new book

Hi, happy Sunday to ya! Here are some haiku from my forthcoming book, Life's Rhythms, which is coming very soon, published by InknBeans Press ... 

In blue essence deep

The old wise ones turn to sleep

Where lost shadows weep

Time ticks, tock tick tock,

Shadows curse the chill hour -

Deathly midnight, hush

Raspberries blood red

Ripe, soft and so succulent

Chilled ice-cream slithers

Almonds and sweet cream

Filled cakes depart from this world -

Yum, straight into my tum!

The sheltering moon,

Beneath her glimmer they roam -

Free, the wild wolves howl

Tinkle of a bell –

Leaping he snatches the bird,

Heart beating softly

We wake in the morn,

Escaping dreams we lived in

As light breaks the dark

In haste we are born,

Only to struggle searching

The purest of heart

Candles dripping drop

Falling fiery yellow,

Burns in the shy hand

Chasing the endless

She dreams of the living dolls

Breathing their lost lives

Timeless, it still stands ­

Relic to an ancient god

Tells of a distant sun

In the dry still heat

The lizard basks, eyes aloft

Watching out for lunch

Ice blows a blanket –

Protects the silent sleeping

Bears that birth tonight
