Nature calling

 

In the early hours

I rise from my bed; sublime

bird song surrounds me.

Hair today, gone tomorrow

 

Such sacrifices

made in pursuit of wisdom;

I’d rather have hair.

Frog spawn

 

When I was young we

had tapioca pudding;

we called it frog spawn.

Daisy

 

A single daisy

awakens deep memories

of carefree childhood.

Tatties

 

Laying potatoes

out to chit; ready to plant

on St Patrick’s day.

Tautological scam

 

Cold callers selling

a service to prevent cold

callers rom calling

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance

time to button up.

One of my early haiku which I still rather like. I am mindful of it as we transition from Winter into Spring. First published on 5 September 2015.

Spinning plates

 

Too much on my mind,

balancing priorities;

something needs to give.

Soul searching

 

I left it behind

now I am looking for it;

searching for my soul.

 

by Scooj

Inspired

 

…then I picked up a

Cousteau book and remembered

my inspiration.

In response to my own haiku ‘Gloom’
