Day coming to an end.

Shadows       -      02 Jun 22

Standing in the shadows 

Watching 

Trees draw patterns

On my walls 

As the sun slips gracefully

Into the realm of West 

Where the shadows deepen 

Into night 

. 

A new reality grows. 

. 

Hail [Modern Haiku]

.

This grew from an early morning observation from my bedroom window. 

. 

Hail [Modern Haiku]    -    13 Nov 19

Full Moon hanging in the West 

And from a frozen sky 

Hail 

. 

The modern Haiku still has the three line format but is not constrained by the seventeen syllables structure.

Wind Calling

Another offering in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Wind Calling  -  28 Aug 16

From the west

I hear your voice

Soft statements of Love

Whispered in the wind

Carried to me

From five thousand miles

To nestle in my Heart

And tell me of you

A little Love song for YOU.

Directions

How do I get to where you are?





Directions  -  17 Aug 15

East of the clouds
Darkness falls
Stars begin the nightly
Dance
Honouring the passing
Of the sun

West of the sunset
Chasing the Moon
In her monthly circles
Around the earth
Oceans deep
A watery path

To you





These are some of the directions.

Race The Sun

This afternoon, looking from my window, I was fascinated by the way the sunlight flickered as the cloud hurried past.  It triggered the thought of a poem which finally emerged just a little after midnight.





Race The Sun  -  24 Sep 13

Watching the clouds
Race the sun
Rushing into the west
Shadows dance
Across the ground
Trying to avoid
The places where
Shadows already sit
Race the sun
Into the night





Being aware of events ~ always worth the effort.
