Dandelion Ditch Haiku.

day looks like a ditch,
dandelions beguile
deceitful smiles,

soul tempters votive
to impossible secrets,
they stay to insist,

as though knoll hedgerows
o�r hill & far away
led from present fray.

yet i would weep at
what you would have me believe,
yet not to conceive,

ditch dandelion
show, tho your promised coronai
funeral this berth.

this dearth by ditch where
i find you wild in spring
inviting nothing

in the sparkling sun,
sarcophagus & flagstone
broken to ruin

speaking of captive
hour flower tempted hearts,
robbed & beguiled.

i just passed a cemetary the other day and as i glanced over it i just couldn't get over all the little yellow dots stretching way out over the graves ... this poem rekindled that image in my mind's eye ...

"soul tempters votive

Again, you turn a phrase with a Master Potter's eye, Robin.
