A new day a new haiku
Beneath my coarse shell
I am smooth and pale and clean
No more shall I rot
An infestation
Is just a feast to attract
Hungry predators
Through my clouded eyes
Warm shadows streak cream canvas
The longest of days
Does a flower care
If we admire her beauty?
It’s her own reward
Legs whipped and stung by
Thorns, thistles, brambles, nettles
Summer run hazards
Make me cross the line
Take your time; I will take mine
Break your fall; I’m fine
Cut me down to size
A grim and grisly surprise
You should try a scythe
As the daylight fades
Twisting though a misty maze
We’ve seen better days
Climb up a mountain
Climb up a tree, just please stop
Climbing over me
What kind of team does
It take to grow an apple
And how can I join?
We drift on the breeze
Dispersing like seeds, faces
Lost, old, forgotten
A silent landscape
Speechless and still, soft yet strong
She sings her own song
Slowly, silently
We let our lives slip away
Sluggish sleepwalkers
Up on Gorsey Hill
Standing in old crow’s castle
We can see the past
Whatever you have
It will never be enough
It will be too much
We are not the first
Thousands walked this path before
We prove there’s a way
Defined and confined
By the world we are inside
Freedom lies without
Leaves gather sunlight
And convert it into wood
Curious magic
Without a paddle
I am caught in an eddy
Forever turning
The years come and go
You watch as the seasons change
Is there a pattern?
Life still carries on
In spite of all our failings
So choose to be kind
A place to call home
Sun sets through open windows
Where wild roses grow
Come join our garden
We will feed and water you
We hope for cherries
A summer daydream
I’m dizzy and lightheaded
In this sublime air
