A new day a new haiku
Just one of those days
Through the dusky winter haze
Meet you in the maze
You cannot hold back
The bramble and elder trees
Forever. Relent
Even the tree tops
Are dwarfed by vast open skies
There is no escape
I followed this brook
Further down it disappeared
Into a black hole
Just cross the water
A whole other universe
Alas I cannot
World turned upside down
After the hurricane ends
We’ll be in blue skies
Beneath leafy crowns
Thick boughs tangle up the clouds
All lives intertwine
The years slip away
While we’re wasting weeks with wrath
Treasure every day
Every day we live
With someone else’s choices
Help out future you
So what are regrets?
Holding on to things that hurt?
Lessons still unlearnt?
Damp drab dreary days
Scuffling through rusty leaves
Searching for wild life
Trees can’t move their roots
They grow where they were planted
But they can still grow
Lying in her lair
Waiting for the wolves to were
Secret silent snare
Wherever we look
We can never see ourselves
Just a reflection
Across golden fields
Misty mornings fall lightly
And some are broken
Only the morning
Transforms the desolate bleak
Into such a glow
A foggy cold fret
Bitten by this fierce snell wind
My fair jeelit feet
We must carry on
Through mud, ice and grime, into
The rest of our lives
Another dreich day
Grey, damp, dark and plowetery
Smirr soaked to the skin
Only bright stars fade
Only the lost can be found
Only triers fail
The weeks just roll on
Sand slipping through my fingers
A glass half empty
Dank November gloom
Oppressively beautiful
Tread murky water
Squeezing a little
Pointless creativity
Into every day
Wind strips branches bare
Waiting for my time to come
Only five leaves left
