Purity

 carpe diem haiku kai

the fragility
of a tiny heart
in our hands

The Beatitudes

 For carpe diem haiku kai 

the beatitudes
fall on deaf ears drowned out by
the cash registers



love is a stranger
in the house of greed power
the high and mighty

Poem A Day

 
 For Will's Birthday

Day 26

"Madness Most Discreet"


these pearls and gems
found in cuckoo bud and cowslips
you drop into my lap
from time to time with rapt heart
dissolve
with the first pelt of a spring rain

thou with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt
sometimes cloaked in soft myrtle
can make no din which will daunt mine ears
love is a smoke raised with a fume of sighs

Day 27

Looking Back




if
you do look back
you could find yourself
submerged in salt
paralysed
standing alone
like a pillar
amongst
some ancient ruins
thinking a Lot

Day 28
Bridge

tin tin likes to dance
snowy his dog does too
tin tin loves his little dog
his best friend through and through

he sings to him in french
and sits him on a bench
when he goes out daily to work
snowy cries and goes beserk

barking barking barking
a disturbance of the peace
the  angry neighbours roar and shout
and finally call the police


Day 29
What Nobody Knows



letting the last dream go
they have all gone
she does not miss them
they weighed her down
like a mill stone

watching the grass grow
is not so bad
there is a lot of activity
amongst the blades

a whole secret life

Day 30

now we are at april's end
i don't feel sad or mad or zen
the month rushed by in such a haze
my writing just a word mash maze
have no idea of what i wrote
or if it may have rocked the boat
but that is where my pen excels
i'm told i do it very well:)

( cheers to anyone who read them)

Sleep

 my devotion to you
is eternal, i find it hard
to keep awake

Sunday Whirligig 4

the clouds billowed
like a diaphanous skirt
a shade of ink black weather
laced with iridescent lightning strikes
and dissonant claps of thunder

she quickly removed
her metal hair clips
placed them in her velour purse
mottled and stained by rain
thankful for her rubber boots

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

sunflower rainstorm puddles beach waves making love seagulls rain storm lightning mountain peony nightingale

a sunflower droops
battered by a rain storm
petals float in puddles

lying on a beach
waves washing over us
making love on our minds

seagulls huddle together
in the rain storm on the deck
lightning strikes the mast

found on the mountain
a bunch of peonies in
the nightingale's nest

Harmony...Carpe Diem

acapella
harmony in five parts
the eagles nail it
