temple in the sky
the road opens
a slice of blue sea

rolling into white foam waves
fizzing as it hits the sand

                               sad
                             sinbad
                          blue sailor
                      attempts to swim
                    sinks with jelly fish
            should have removed trousers
                and other items of dress
                 never swim in a tuxedo
         no matter how good you look in it
          just ask any experienced mermaid

the parrots fly low
about her - as if she did not exist
a distinct possibility

Sunday Scribblings 2

looking  through
childhood books
i read your inscriptions
with all the kisses

i notice
my handwriting
is identical to yours

i wish now
i had not written that letter

Cherry Blossom

is it not like a mouse nest
this being unable to sleep
for the flowers ?
Basho



cherry blossom time
miss mouse in her teapot house
covers herself in petals

Buson

the willow leaves fallen
the spring gone dry
rocks here and there

still warm from the scorching sun
waiting for cool drops of rain

Three Word Wednesday

cherish babble damned

said
he loved her
cherished her
fingers crossed
behind his back

said
he needed
her whirlwind thoughts
and excitable babble to
inject life into his dimness

said
he thought she was invincible
so he dropped her from
the top of a building
to see if she would bounce back
damn!
she didn't

but she's working on it

Sunday Scribblings 2

shattering words
said coldly and clearly
with such extraordinary brutality
a knife through the heart

Three Word Wednesday

 unselfish amoral winding




it's always the nice ones
the unselfish caring ones
used as targets
by sociopaths
winding them up
trampling on feelings
mere power play practice
for the amoral

Sunday's Whirligig

after
throwing a spanner
in the works
your devastating
plain speak
just like
the menace of your father
and childhood of your past
blocking any hope
of future for us
a dazzling light
appears in the window
and in walks
my black angel
