Late summer haiku

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Mikels Skele

The night suspended
Hangs like a paper lantern
A whiff of jasmine?

    I like “jamine,” though. A bit Frenchy. 🙂

  A delight of jasmine
  Just beyond a winter’s grasp
  Inside and outside

    In raging autumn
    Renga ’round the rose hips, dear
    Shields us from winter

    Lovely by the fire
    Warm as the days grow shorter
    Jambon and red wine

    Jasmine’s still sweeter
