Evanesce

evanescent eve-

I stand on my toes to see

the blood sun drowning

~

amid cloud vapors-

the sun rays that evanesce

with feathers of crows

.

* For Haiku/Tanka Challenge.

Silence

alms for my heart-

the sight of sun at dusk

bathing in crimson

~

words strewn air

oblivious to the world-

a red-beaked parrot

~

skin tingled lilac

hair ruffled by a spring wind

silence in my smile

.
