Whirligig # 339 This week's words: from St Francis and Sister Death

 by R W Trommer

humble  dance dinner heart hut ashes baby shame partner mystery praise doors

 

it's okay baby 

i know
you live in a humble hut
it makes no difference
even though the doors are closed to me
i only have praise for you

i know
we will never go to a jazz club
have dinner
clink champagne glasses
or listen to nancy wilson
i know
you will never partner me
in that slow dance together


i know
your heart is elsewhere
it makes me sad
it's such a shame
you will always be a mystery to me
we only share broken dreams and ashes

 

" I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go "

 

 

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #1850

falling sick on a journey

my dream goes wandering

over a field of dried grass

Basho

 

 

 

 a  last breath

taken by the winds of Autumn

leaves dance on

Chevrefeuille

 

 the distant plaintive 

sound of a bamboo flute 

eyes close for the last time

 

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai # 1849

 

gentle breeze

refreshes my troubled mind

finally peace within

my head completely empty

through the gentle breeze

Chevrefeuille

he has returned

arms laden with tulips

gentle words and angel breath

welcome back to haiku home

it has been too long
