    Cool, open rooms

    Peaceful tranquility.

    Here is my grouping of haikus:

    simple, inviting
    clean stylish lines
    sublte hues touch the soul

    bright open spaces
    modern, organic
    harmonious elements fuse

    lofty, enlightening
    sublime inspiration
    visual textures abound

    Streamlined architecture
    spacious and uncluttered
    unpretentious simplicity

    Ok, here are a couple

    Cantilever dreams
    warm and cool unite
    the future is then

    Home-
    a pebbled path
    welcome Rae of light

    Cool straight lines open

    A clearing for soul’s repose

    joy is space so clean

  • Chris Unruh @ April 24th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

    never stuffy, cool

    growing with the landscape; trees

    modern is my speed

    Checking email late

    hoping still for tickets free

    writing is great fun

    Voyeurism reigns
    Living vicariously
    All done in my name

    Waterfall moving -
    over cool air, Nature breathes;
    Fallingwater lives.
