August Ireland 2011

Dark summer day
Mauve falls through the bathroom skylight
Timpani of rain

Three haiku: "Who will be the first?"

Who will be the first?

I will not be first
I will merge with shadows cast
hidden and unknown

Who will be the first?

I will follow last
will not stop or rest or fall
I will stand behind

Who will be the first?

I will be the first
I will step into the light
I will stand alone

Astrology ( Mars setting Pisces rising)

How does Mars appear ?
Setting on an empty sea
glowing fire through mist

for Andrew Smith (with thanks)

Astro Andrew Smith
Shook the fabric of the sky
Jewels fell to earth

late for work

Late for work again
A thousand haiku poems
Knocking at the door

First Haiku

small leaf flutters down
becoming a memento
of it's own brief flight

Windy Day Haiku

five seven and five
syllables pegged on a line

indigo blue

closet poet
scribbling in the dark
close secrets
woven words
hidden 
in plain view
coloured
indigo blue
