Painted Skies [Haiku]

the rising sun
paints from a vivid palette,
but - soon - skies cool 

Bleeding Leaf [Haiku]

each leaf bleeds red
with its own blotched pattern
in its own time

Red Maple [Haiku]

a red maple leaf
flutters from a tree
to adorn my coat

Red & Yellow [Haiku]

yellow hoods
on red berries
warm my mind

Blush [Haiku]

green seed pods
blush to blood red,
then split open

POEM: Temple Red

The walls were painted temple red.
This dream was just that kind of dream.
I saw no feeders nor the fed,
but my deep mind followed that stream
of color from décor to blood.
And seeing it not sacredly
saw red waters rising to flood
and paint the walls a shade deadly.
