Ghost Ocean

Waves throw up on the shore
remnants of ocean lives
tangles of plastic
debris from both sides
of a blurring boundary.
Revealing hints of the diversity underneath
and of the death we impose.

Tri-haiku XX (Circular Green)

This circular green
Grown, cut back, abundant now
as summer takes hold

This circular green
A comfort true and fragrant
These summer senses

This circular green
With me, part of me, in me
I am in summer

Sunday in Spring

Two fields over, Rooks argue
a raucous parley that
goes on and on and on
while other birds sing prettily

They call from out beyond my

First Bluebells

Saw my first bluebells
in the sunshine today
Quite close to the river
down Old Shoreham way

Little Yellow

Little yellow dandelions
growing wildly there
And yes, I know that they are weeds
but I don’t really care

Stonehouse

Brown is the ground
Blue is the sky
High is the peak
Steeply I rise.

HAIKU: AS SKIES TURN GRAY

By Charles Robert Lindholm And Karen Meredith-Lindholm

The Winds Blow Cold As

Robin in the fig tree

What are the words?
Bright, cheery red, bob-bob-bobbing?

A waterfall
Pours down

The Bull

Went for a walk up on Mill Hill
and met some scary sheep
But although we had due warning
it was the bull that made us weep

For he was really jolly big
as nervously we trod
around him fairly gingerly
on Sussex chalkland sod

The Lasshaar howl and moan
Playing among treetops,

Wood smoke and cold air,
Moonlight clouds slowly slide along

welcome
October
morning

Abbreviated Haiku #2

pale-pink flowers in autumn—
who knew

Abbreviated Haiku #1

excited
chatter above me—
treetop songs

Resting in the grass
He watches me as I paint
Image I will sell.

The Light

 

If only

intelligence were a storm

Triolet : 2018-09-25

Triolet is a poem of 8 lines in which 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and 2nd and 8th lines also repeat. The rhyme scheme of the poem is AbaAabAB

thoughts are clouds, let them be
too high for palms, too low for skies
whoever baked thunders and sea
thoughts are clouds, let them be

Adieu!

See the sky

shining blue

color of trust

in a game of thrust.

 

Gaze at the sun

shining bright

color of light

in a game of must.

 

Triolet : 2018-09-08

pebbles cast no dreams
in pain they glow
under belligerant streams
pebbles cast no dreams
a new heart cast off the seams

Sinking my teeth into
Firm flesh,

sparrows
truth on their feet
a bed of chirps to dream
home where legs be, legs where heart sings

time turns
cotton to yarn
smoke to fire, fire to smoke
fingers to guns, guns to fingers
