Gathering

A prophecy is being mapped out.

Gathering       -      19 Nov 20 

The elves are meeting 

Gathering in the woods 

Warning of a change 

In the weather 

Wind from the North 

A frigid song sung 

Through the trees 

Endlessly keening 

Beware the ides of December 

. 

Weather shifts at the beginning of the month. 

. 

Interesting

Another Love song for your delight and delectation.





Interesting  -  19 Feb 16

Feeling the change
Whether the weather
Had shifted
Or if the sea flowed differently
There was a new taste
An interesting flavour
In the air
I realised that I knew
The flavour
I had tasted it so many times
In my dreams
You are always with me





YOU are always with me.

November Storms

Last night's weather was rather wild...





November Storms - 04 Nov 09

Moon and cloud
In equal measures
Paint the sky and ground
With rain and silver.
Wind hurls drops,
Mingled with ice,
At my window

So glad I'm inside
The wind is jealous
Trying to join me





I felt it was necessary to mention the sounds which kept me alert in my office before I actually went to bed, rather fun listening to the noises at the window behind me.

Todays Senryū

I have found the correct character to be able to spell Senryū properly, just needed the 'ū' to make it right. Sorry, that distracted me a little...on with the poems.

A couple of Senryū is the offering for today...


Summer 08 Jun 09

Seagull's cry mingling
With the sound of falling rain,
Summer's back again


Clouds 08 Jun 09

Cornwall. Touching clouds
Is too easy here because
They come to meet you



Just those two today, more soon.

The illustration I use today is the album cover of Joni Mitchell's Clouds - because it is apposite and I happen to like the early Joni songs.
