A Room of My Own: Lovers' Quarrel Haiku

lovers' quarrel  
in the summer twilight  
knotted branches sway


FYI: This could be read as a sequel/counter-poem to my haiku below:

dappled trail 
a summer breeze humming
our sweet nothings 



Added:

summer stars 
tangled in my love's hair: 
skinny-dipping 


Added:

starry midnight ...
summer rain
into the silence


Added:

rippling sunset
the far-off sound
of a fishing boat


FYI: This could be read as a sequel to the following haiku:

summer dusk
fishing boats set their nets
around the sun

Added:

late afternoon light
the snarl 
of lawn mowers


Added:

monsoon rain
my toddler wanders
from room to room
