Color Haiku

please hurry 

                    this is a limited time offer 

                                                               white crocuses 

indigo 

bunting 

dissolving

color

amber light 

pulsing through cicada song

blue sky 


yellow violets 

she decides 

to wait 

Weltschmerz 

the orange enormity 

of the dying sun 

pink clouds struck 

against the electric cyan 

floating ribs 

new green

the crow with a sprig 

in his beak 

dame’s rocket 

a cabbage white fluttering 

into blueness 

sea spray 

the storm color  of a gull  © Joshua St. Claire
