The Layered Look

It seems to be haiku Friday again.

As frigid hints of winter call on us to pull layers of clothing out of storage, an ode to the layers around us:

Tonight’s layered sky/Topped with vivid magenta/White gold underneath

Cardinal red leaves/Segue to crimson and brown/Arrayed in layers

Layers of autumn/Crisping lemon-lime and rust/Swishing underfoot

Layers of water/Overlaid on lichen rock/Make an abstract plane

Layers of feathers/Magnificent cobalt hearts/Lie in each center

Edinburgh clouds/Layered above earth and sea/Simply majestic

Layers of basalt/Stepping stones for the giants/Of so long ago

Camoflouge colors/Disguise a modern building/Layered on mountains

Undulating roots/Nature’s unending layers/Are fed by the rain

Flowering cactus/Symmetrical layering/Makes it look easy

Pastel petals curl/Layered around the center/Of a cabbage rose

layered letters

Years of layered wax/Dripping nightly from candles/Do you see the heart?

Bright green and orange/Make a herringbone pattern/When layered in fall
