Young whippersnappers

take heed; your golden years will

begin in your fall

There can be few things

in life more frivolous than

chasing your own tail.

She loves him, it’s true,

though her dark purpose prevents

an eternal love.

  • One of a pair of haiku, to be read with Peacock. The inspiration came from two mysterious cards stuck to a wall in Ward Street, Bristol.
  • This haiku is heavily influenced by the magnificent and mischievous Poet Rummager and her ‘Hungry Love‘ haiku, with thanks.

He loves her so much,

his proclamation is clear

for all to witness.

Hibernate

 

Oh sweet slumber come

and engulf me in your arms;

nourish me with dreams.

Pumpkin

 

Tight, fat and bloated,

September’s offering is

October’s desire.

Meniscus

 

With consummate ease,

walking on water is like

a stroll in the park.

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance;

time to button up.

Brown Trout

 

Distorted shadow

obscured by rippling waters;

unmistakable.
