A new day a new haiku
Small lives shoot upwards
Offshoots flourish in long days
Each a unique blade
What magic uncurls
From such slight wiry tendrils
Summer holds her breath
Let go of today
And welcome in tomorrow
Yesterday has gone
Sticky cleavers climb
Bluebells chime, hailing spring time
Fragment mint and thyme
Warm son, lift me up
I bask in the golden glow
Shining from your smile
Flash floods flush fish flesh
From deep beneath the sewers
Defile the highway
We climbed up the hill
To catch the last on the sun
We’ll stay forever
Rolling strolling clouds
Ever changing never gone
Ideas never die
Come and sit awhile
You breathe in what I breathe out
Beneath the oak tree
Blossom in the rain
Shine out of the darkness and
Make me live again
The May has been out
I have cast my winter clout
Yet no fear of drought
Cobblestone walkways
Worn smooth by thousands of feet
Am I following?
When the darkness falls
Should we float off gently or
Go out with a bang
Traverse the canyon
Travail brings it’s own reward
Travel mountain peaks
Clamber through the hedge
Living on the woodland edge
Spread our wings and fledge
In the partial shade
Birds nest, deer rest and then graze
Quiet forest glade
Long light shining through
Captivating sunset hues
Everything is new
Trace the labyrinth
And weave through the lighting bugs
The fayre comes alive
At the sun’s zenith
Shelter in your spreading shade
How am I growing?
All the stars align
And all the puzzle pieces
Fall into their place
The heat haze rises
We wander, wilt and wither
Memories meander
In the long cool shade
We rest our weary limbs and
In the shadows bathe
Swallows dive and swoop
Underneath the mushroom shade
The circle returns
Soak in springtime sun
Fill your ears with sweet sugar
Songs of joy abound
