Killing time

Four minutes only

seventeen syllables to

contrive; here we go.

Last stand

 

This stubborn Summer

reluctant to relinquish

its tenuous grip.

Pub crawl

.

Leaving dos galore

farewells to long-time colleagues

drowning my sorrows.

Ellie

 

Fiery furnace

compassionate to the core

a golden heart forged.

For my manager who leaves this week. She’s simply the best.

Unto thine own self be true

.

A life compromised

by moral obligations

the right choices made.

Waiting

.

Steely blue cold seat

at the station; leg relief

but rather cold bum.

Sweet victory

.

It’s been a long time

and the wait has bee so hard

happy days are here.

Indian Summer

Lingering Summer

stay a while longer and know

you are most welcome.

Sweet joy. They are here

and I am relegated

to this room…I write.

My daughter’s assessment of this haiku…”that’s boring Dad”.

Waiting it out

 

Inexorable

my time in time will come, but

will I welcome it?
