I’ve been practicing writing haiku, thanks to inspiration from Twitter. One day I had the idea to do a series of haiku based on colors. I have really enjoyed writing them, and I hope to add even more as time goes by. I’ve aggregated the ones I’ve written so far together here so that they could be viewed all in one place. Enjoy!

Red // minds drenched like a hot / summer night after sunset / hearts aflame with love

Green // sinking peacefully / in the fertile tapestries / of your verdant thoughts

Blue // sitting here with you / beneath endless oases / of serenity

Yellow // laughter bursting forth / from beaming faces; framing / revelry with sound

Gray // somber reflections / ensconced in melancholy / heavy on my heart

Purple // sensually spiced / smoke wafting past entwined limbs / silk-swirled opulence

Turquoise // seemingly serene / beneath chaotic stillness / toes dip playfully

Orange // vibrant sprays of light / playing on the edge of night / laughing at the dark

Indigo // fathomless visions / undiscovered secrets that / haunt me in my dreams

Pink // poofy taffeta / swirling fairy dresses of / innate innocence

Gray(2) // floating in the calm / waters of you; basking in / your tranquility

Brown // smooth against my skin / sweet upon my tongue; immersed / in luxuriance
