painted with blushing passion
before bitter frost-cj holm

The last rose of autumn
displays with fierce red fever
with a tinge of frost-CJ Holm

Bitter Kiss
Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge #127 – Kiss/Taste
As I went to morning coffee, the temperature reading in my car was -10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Winter’s bitter kiss
Offered with frost covered lips
Stole my taste for life-Clarence Holm
“Ormsby – Just defrost and serve!”
The Last Hollyhock
Withered by the wind
Then burned by an early frost
Beauty holds my gaze-Clarence Holm

Morning-
Solitary pine silhouette in sky,
Splitting the dark horizon, anticipating sun.
Morning frost daubs crystal stars
Witnessing dawn’s soft magenta rise.
