Haiku of the day

September’s last rays

Rekindling old desires -

A crow struts his stuff

Haiku of the day

A sky full of stars

Wandering with my soulmate

Infinite wishes

Haiku of the day

Fallopia

plethora of small white flowers

 loved by autumn bees

Haiku of the day

Washing machine hum
Knitting aubergine mohair
Domestic goddess

2 x haiku

1.
perimenopause -
punnet of peaches labelled
ripen in a bowl

2.
tangle of barbed wire
Virginia creeper's red spread
Cabbage white flies by

spin art time lapse

crashed

collapsed into

a splash

of French coleurs.

And there I found

un oeillet rose

pour l’anniversaire

de mon grand-père.

Irises make me happy

I planted a bulb 3 years ago and this is the first time it has flowered. I am posting a poem I wrote in 2000 in celebration.

 For Ogawa Shushiki 1669 – 1725

Iris colours bloom
Twenty-first century home
Visions of Heaven.

Dreamer of my dream
Haiku and cookie mistress
Long ago Japan.

Kakitsubata*
Eternal for the poet
Woken from life’s dream.

Wait in the iris garden
‘Til our purple lips shall kiss.

* Kakitsubata – Rabbit-eared iris
