Sting (Haiku) / Crystal (Senryu)

Sting of Scorching Sands (Haiku)

Sting of scorching sands

Turning silica to glass

Natures melting pot

Crystal and Fine Wines (Senryu)

Crystal and fine wines

Regalia of the snooty

The harder they fall

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Since I had never intentionally written a senryu I thought Ha’s prompt this week might be the perfect opportunity to try…so here it goes.

To Feel The Night (Haiku Series)

Warm–moist is the breeze

Accompanying the buzz

~~ Mosquitos draw blood

~

A blood moon eclipse

Is this the sign of end times

~~ An infrequent visit

~

Shadows in the night

Tend to breed anxiety

~~ There’s nothing to fear

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
