A new day a new haiku
Lock these days away
Keep them safely in your mind
For when winter comes
So we leave them there
Ever paddling onwards
Into the sunset
We weave windy ways
Where wispy willows whisper
Washed with white water
Flotsam and jetsam
Waft down the restless river
Roving waifs and strays
Slip through the culvert
Let the current carry you
And your cares away
Nothing I create
Will last for a hundred years
Unlike this canal
Empty jaws await
Twist and turn you into lunch
Swallow you up whole
You give me reasons
To keep paddling upstream
Like my fathers did
Paddles pick their way
Fighting through frosted ice sheets
Frozen fingers burn
Carry my canoe
Down curly wyrley canal
I paddle, can you?
Row, row, row your boat
So merrily down the stream
Life is but a dream
Floating in a cloud
Meander the days away
In a dusky haze
Gloomy backwaters
Slowly seep and ooze their way
Into the ocean
