roses bloom
setting the field
aflame in coral hues

summer’s answer

roses take flight
cool summer breeze

the wind shivers sweet and slow

Inspiration: Haikubes

Caught in ripples,
emerald waves
Fluid treasure,
glides in plain view

Peridot trees,
deep ruby leaves
Precious metal,
rooted in stone

Pale, pale onyx,
amethyst sky
Sought after gem,
an orb of gold
