A new day a new haiku
Swim against the tide
Rolling slowly down the hill
Kick against the pricks
Take my precious time
Slowly crawl all over you
Until you fall down
With my own two hands
Rising from nothing but dust
Ideas come to life
Even at the edge
Of this chalky green cliff top
The bells ever toll
Deep in the blue sea
Beneath a hazy green mist
The bells toll for me
Slowly we retreat
To this crumbling sanctuary
Between the hail storms
Bushes and branches
Consumed by flaming flowers
Burning bold and bright
While holding my phone
I tripped over and fell down
And took this photo
An inner circle
The everlasting balance
Between light and dark
Newly balanced legs
Teeter, totter then tumble
Back into the sea
A hole in the sand
Sunk inside blackness of time
An empty circle
A gull, wild and free
Fearless of the crumbling cliffs
On clipped wings I turn
A shiny brown egg
The musty smell of nutmeg
One thin wooden leg
Against concrete walls
These lives of contradiction
Blossom then wither
Sweet Magnolia
However did you become
The hue of banal?
Slow down restless brain
Stop looking for yesterday
Forget tomorrow
The first bluebells ring
Newly arrived swallows sing
Sounds that smell of spring
Morning Celandine
The lesser of two evils
I will walk away
Give me a blanket
A crackling campfire
A sky full of stars
Scale twisted tree tops
Leap between bending branches
And never look down
In isolation
Weave a web around yourself
A trap made of thoughts
Just in this moment
Squeeze me now I’m tired out
Let the oil run dry
Adventures await
Hopes, dreams and expectations
Just around the bend
Clouds lined with silver
The grass is always greener
Apples don’t fall far
