Background
The beautiful autumn season is here. For those who live in a tropical region, this means the end of months of heavy showers and grey clouds, and the beginning of a new era of sunlight, accompanied by a bright blue sky. Here is a Haiku and a Sonnet celebrating the season and one of its special flowers, Jasmine.
Autumn Sky
Autumn - Haiku
Dazzling bright blue sky
Cotton-white clouds sailing through
Night falls with a chill
A Single Jasmine
Jasmine - Sonnet
Jasmine, your serene white visage, well-laced
With an orange tint of glow, the sunlight
You come, bloom gently, silver moonlit night
A lover's touch, remain you till the dawn
I yearned for you, and your sweet, fragrant soul
My nostalgic rescue from the dark clouds
Seclusion of years, grim, grey, dim, and grave
Entered crimson dawn, and silent night stole
I pine for you, my sweet lover, Jasmine
Along the night path, fragrance yours, I lost
Your enthralling touch, without an end, gone
The orange turned brown, the white lost its sheen
How could I know, you would return next night
To embrace me in your newly found light
