Gutted, torn inside

Trunk red, more red than roses

Branching, I’m worried

—-

Crimson sun, tattered

Moon hits blood, is it you there?

Please come back to me

****

Our string is taut, blue

Strum it, it sings harp blue-bird

Red tree swings madly.

****

    Collection of haiku poems is quite powerful in their simplicity and evocative language, conveying a sense of deep emotion and introspection through vivid imagery and leaving me with a lingering sense of contemplation and reflection.
