Wayward Year

Haynaku Exercise

Arbors...
Rising clothed
Resplendent, gleaming gold

Branches
Higher, sweeping
Leafy scarlet veins

Senses
Amorous quicken,
Thicken honeyed rhyme!

Hippocrene!
Distilling vigor
Brimming golden wine

Flowers
Trying late,
Sighing purple bloom

Harken!
Silent shadows,
Slanting wayward noon

Lonesome
Leaves remain
Abstain wilder winds

Retain
Blushing finery
Lest effervescence end

Pensive
Drooping green
Seeming frozen dream
