a fine autumn day
amid sunlit golden leaves
sighs of gratitude
nature’s shimmering vibrance
wanes in the chill of the night

swift river rovers
fantasize of Viking days
valises loaded
vehement prowling for prey
hidden in color riots

seeks respect.
scarred odes ignite
purpose for living

a dissociation from
years of unbalanced equality
her spirit born to be alive and thrive

#SenHai Saturday – 9/19/26
Haiku
out of the darkness
delicate glimmers of hope
late summer magic
Senryu
darkness sets the stage
tiny blooms costumed in white
aspire to stardom
Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing! This picture is of delicate white flowers against a dark, blurred background.
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haiku and senryu consist of three lines in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions. – Susi

exotic allure
lush sun-kissed fronds aflutter

towering beauty
sways gracefully in the breeze
calm before the storm

Magic beyond dreams
in dreams magic dwells
embraced in nature’s cradle
hopes go hand in hand
frost-kissed leaves reflect hoofbeats
stardust spins earth’s tapestries
“Sometimes we all need a unicorn to believe in. Sometimes we need a unicorn to believe in us.” ― Claudia Bakker
in cosmic embrace
sunsets give way to moon tides
timeless space in dreams
mundane hopes for gentle hands
as unicorns spread magic
