I chose the last Sunday of each month to share a haiku practice on my IG stories through the fall and winter months. Sipping red in bed, was the prompt. I'll switch to white for the spring and summer. Thanks for lingering.
sipping red in bed
autumn night lingering dim
journals cursive scratched
chapters long written
shared in lesser words agreed
old souls write beyond
sipping red in bed
long thanks leftover given
reminiscence foiled
warm pie waits for morn
savor only now and need
grace carved wholehearted
sipping red in bed
'jamas new worn dryer warm
silent night savored
christmas chaos shelved
star dark in a velvet box
gibbous waxing blue
years crossroad collide
old and new pivot unhinged
flannels entangled
sipping red in bed
marinara long simmered
scenting home subtly
flour, egg, love
simple ingredients these
al dente to please
old world vines noted
garlic kisses slow grazie
mandolin reprise
sipping red in bed
tarot and merlot converge
turn a midnight card
facet fixations
our rudimentary four
shuffled seasons ask
soul care queried shy
introspection flames open
burning unanswered
sipping red in bed
west view ripe blue clouds roll low
subtle tannins tease
neath heirloom linen
quilted weight of evening lulls
downpour notes of age
