This was selected by The Margaret Reid Poetry Prize for their "Highly Commended Poems" section.
This was my first attempt at haiku so I'm just a little extra kicked about that.

THE
AWFUL SIMPLICITY
OF
TEN
ONE
A single petal
Rose red velvet scent supine
Snow white pillowcase
TWO
Carmine awakened
Surprised by the wind warmly
Gathered up in musk
THREE
Venturesome brightness
Pearl and obsidian eyes
Peals of laughter twinkling
FOUR
Sugar rush times two
Rush slow down run mosey sleep
Dream learn together
FIVE
Copy model rebel
Coalesce disperse return
To love and home
SIX
Roots adventitious
And tap recall recursive
Journey seed to seed
SEVEN
Generations weave
A quilt of traditions real
Unreal bittersweet
EIGHT
Life ebbs flows begins
Ends endlessly organic
Builds tribes and nations
NINE
Nine lives of each act
Of random kindness also
Of evil design
TEN
River wends its way
Through destiny doership
Drenched in rose and musk
~ Sonali
