She Loves Me ...She Loves Me Not

She Loves Me ...She Loves Me Not

A Poem by Einstein Noodle
"

plagiarized cliche' with what i mean to be haiku ;)

"
she loves me      - 
  darkly dawn into grey
                                  oak limbs creak awake the day
                                  slightest light blinding
she loves me not -
  saffron crocus spreads 
                                        mirage  horizon blazes 
                                        pink and orange collide
she loves me      -
             mismatch of color 
                                        intoxicating wonder
                                        clematis climbing
she loves me not -
high noon in the sky  
                                    straight up blistering 
                                    monkey face orchid 
                                     
she loves me    -
low down cooling quiet
                            dusk approaches West Mountain  
                            lotus flower floats                               
she loves me not -
   fire born must go out
                                      nightshade turns to face the moon
                                      warming lights go out
she loves me        -
black velvet cloaks sky
                              mauve carnation vows deeply
                              dreaming bell flowers

Hello Mr E. Your title grabbed me big time. Took me right back to when I would pluck the petals off daisy heads) replacing the she with a he though) On reflection how cruel that was. I really do like the haiku/senryu structure. There is so much that can be said in 17 syllables and far more between the lines too. These take skill to do well and yours are exceptionally colourful, flowery and scented. I have to say I do love the heady, intoxicating perfume of garden flowers. Imagery from dawn to sunset, complete with mountains and moonlight. A different kind of love poem, so very creative and very much enjoyed. I lingered here quite a while. Hope you are well my friend across the pond while Miss Covid is calling on us.

I liked the way you used the flowers to describe the scene of magic, love...warm and cool colors to capture dawn to dusk...and to describe the night sky as black velvet; I thin she loves you more in the vacern of darkness... really loved all the details. Fondly Betty

Awhh; you're

What a creative way to integrate something we all know (she loves me...) and something new and original (your lines). There are also nice juxtapositions here...high noon and setting sun et. This juxtaposition might be the frantic state of uncertainty many in love have felt, that push and pull. Great poem!

Thank you. You too.
So sorry I haven't read you in so long! And this is a stunning poem to come back to, thank you for that! This is one of the best of yours I've read in a long time & it's also some of the best haiku I've read on this website. When haiku is so absorbing that I forget to count syllables, then you know I'm hooked. I am envious of the way you describe details in nature & it makes me want to try my hand right away. This line is the best ever: "oak limbs creak awake the day" . . . exactly how it's been around here, surrounded by oaks & it's been blustery lately, even when it's hot, so the limbs have been a-creakin' mightily! This feels like eating fruit salad, so many bright flavors popping & contrasting, nice & juicy & sweet (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Sounds like a most pleasant way to see the day coming and going ... plucking at thoughts then letting them go back to where they came ... it presents itself to me as a meditation, and we all know how I love that.

What a wonderfully original way of placing loving, wondering thoughts but doubts and questions, Gene!! And even more. you've done all that in structured form, I so envy each three lines, start to finish

Seems however that although we don't want to include the wretched bug, it clouds our lives more often or not. But, thank you, thank you for given me a sweet change of scenery for w few minutes, dear friend. Will come back a few more times to soak in this, it's a true gem in every sense of the word.
