White petals
Stamens red
Sweet scent
Blossoms spread
To the sky
Over head
Scattered ground
Feet to tread
As a trail
To words said
On a bridge
As Lovers wed

Hay(na)ku
Feather
Adrift, afloat
Sway, sway, sway
Day 27 for NaPoWriMo2015 – the prompt – optional, as always — comes to us from Vince Gotera. It’s the hay(na)ku). Created by the poet Eileen Tabios and named by Vince, the hay(na)ku is a variant on the haiku. A hay(na)ku consists of a three-line stanza, where the first line has one word, the second line has two words, and the third line has three words. You can write just one, or chain several together into a longer poem.
Flowing
A Clerihew
My Dad, has trophies, for growing flowers
Superhero, with Dahlia powers
Charming the sweet pea to hypnotically weave
Training stem, petal, pollen till perfection achieved
A Clerihew, a four-line biographical poem for NaPoWriMo2015.
Camellia
Outside my window
And in plain view
Posy petals
Glisten in dew
Dreaming of days
Dazzling and bright
And envy of Kings
In summer delight
Pink tulle tutus
Tipping to bow
Flowing confetti
“Grazie” then “Ciao”

For Day 22 of NaPoWriMo2015
I Know…..
The amount of midges
Mulling on the lawn
Impressive as a bog
Said the eager frog
I know the Black Bird
Bustled them all
Beating his wings
Makin a din of things
I know the Bee fellow
Watched Black Bird flee
Thinking thankfully
Now Peace will be
