Marieta Maglas
Haiku For Sun

 

A lifetime sunset;

red-apple in sunken sea;

sunniest, nude beach.




 

All For Naught

 

Lost in the darkness,

the colors of life vanish.

They achieve nothing.





 

Brushing Sounds

 

Played picked fingerstyle.

Dyed words for Stroop effect in

unpolarized light.





 

Convergence

 

At the sea's wave touch,

words of love need convergence~

ride at a slow trot.





 

Ekphrastic Haiku

 

Wild, windy thistles,

wet, weeping words, twilight world,

fall, and falling hues.





 

An Echo

 

Blows his own trumpet,

squeals with a sense of smugness~

his ego’s echo.






Distortion

 

Distortion of light

and color changes in stars~ 

Sun's magnetic storm.

 

Fall

 

Rain adorns the cold.

The red peeks through the foliage.

Wet breezes chafe the cuts.
