Persephone

Persephone

By Julie Gengo

There is something about Persephone
She gets under your skin 
Drum beats to the rhythm of 
Raindrops dropping on glass tables
Subtle impressions 
Like soft kisses on the neck 
"What does it take"
She asks and then continues to do her thing

Springtime 2014 2 Haikus for NY Times

Scurrying bodies
Happy tulips rise
Inhale effervescence

#####

Bodies scurrying
Tulips peep
Hazy sunshine in coffee cups

Jazz by Moonlight

Jazz by Moonlight

Your words mean everything
I see you now
Far off in the distance

Supplies

conspicuously crafting clever anomalies 
to keep in corners 
in case voyagers visit 
and are in need of supplies

Taps on the ceiling 

Speakeasy starring 

Belgian in a glass

Moonlight just outside

Straw plant shifts

Slightly to the left

Chimes sing peace and melody

Butternut Squash

Soft butternut squash

peppers and onions dance

Saucy tomatoes swirl

Lovely French cider

Savory sugar kisses
