Haiku

Petrichor (Earth)

Wet leaves on the ground

made a big magic mattress

to thaw my stiff life

Iridescence (Sky)

A jet left contrails

Like coke lines on a blue board

Clouds made disco lights

Love letters (Fire)

I fed the red flames

sheaths of evidence that showed

the death of my pride

Swoosh (Wind)

Grasses and branches

shook and swayed, delivering

love notes from above

Lost (Water)

My wounded soul slept

drinking solace from the pure

purrs of old rivers
