A Hot Summer’s Evening

Murky windowsills of unfamiliar places
exude melancholy with just about
the perfect tinge of homesickness.

The kind of homesickness
that is made up of all your
broken crayons and missing playthings;

The kind of homesickness
that simply makes you
half smile and half sigh.

Lavender Haiku

 

Perfectionism blooms

 

Into a purple whimsy.

 

She knows her worth now.
