Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

I see a budding bloom

Tina Stewart Brakebill

I see a budding bloom

wafting in the breeze

Its petals beckon to the bees

like the newly wedded groom

I see a budding bloom

 

Gazing towards the trees

a blossom hopes to please

Like the new bride’s swoon

I see a budding bloom

 

Night comes in like a tease

And the flower feels unease

But under the light of the rising moon

I see a budding bloom

I can wait too and I’ll .…

Tommy! What are ya gawping at? Come on! I’m hungry! Mom is gonna leave us!
