Haiku: In B - Flat Major
Haiku: In B-Flat Major
by
Dr. Darryl Winer
Teasing and mocking
As waves lick and lap the shore
Modest notes and chords
Rising heat within
The slow staccato quickens
Exquisite focus
Mounting urgency
As approaching crescendo
Chorus in full voice
Damp matted hair strewn
Eyes wide with sudden surprise
A wildflower blooms
All thoughts turned inward
Carried forth by the rhythm
Lovers understand
Poured out and breathless
Splayed amongst the rumpled sheets
Hands in limp embrace
