Il Dolce Far Niente

time stands still 
watching ants on a summers day
dolce far niente

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

you learn on the road
morning teas and ecritoires
lose their purpose

life on the road
compassion and indifference
greet you at each turn

he poured
pineapple crush topped with green mint froth
over her toes
as she lay napping under the yew

a spray of prickly pssticisms
and expletives followed
dross - harbinger of gloom
she blamed him
he blamed the bears




inwardly he smiled
resentful of having to trudge
all the way out here
on yet  another nature trip




he had other ideas of
discovery of nature
his own nature taking priority

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Well of Grief" by David Whyte: slip, well, grief, turning, place, breathe, source, glimmering, coins, thrown, something, still

this is the place to
slip grief with thrown glimmering coins
into the well
cut off the pain at the source
breathe then
turn to say goodbye

you still mean something to me

you sowed the seeds
they took hold in fertile soil
grew thrived then blossomed

Miracles

miracles
happen to others
but not for me

She's Leaving Home

headlights promontory fizzle melody radio fetal
china insular pity spell leavings cryophilic

on the drive out to the promontory
the melody on the radio
churned up the past

curling up in a fetal position
a pity case
feeling  like a piece of broken china
she contemplated
throwing in the towel

the initial spell of heady days
was followed by a fizzler
every single time

more the tropicana type than cryophilia couch lizard
she decided to do something about it
escape the insular small town
and head for the bright lights of the big city
