Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

little miss wren
a power house song bird
seems fragile lately

Karma

choose carefully
consequences will follow
without exceptions

The Enlightenment

Mid Week Motif


1689 - 1755

forerunner of the' enlightenment' period
first sociologist
precursor to the french revolution
division of powers and end to the monarchy
liberte equalite fraternite

a catholic who believed that
people should think for themselves
his work stamped ' forbidden'
placed on the index





meanwhile
centuries later



down under
we have our own napoleon
a prime minister who claims
he is not a suppository
of all knowledge

the quintessential diplomat
who threatens to shirtfront putin



who says indigenous poverty
is a life style choice



shuts the doors to refugees




a half baked catholic
not known for his cerebral acuity



who left the seminary when he
experienced a flash of enlightenment
of how much money was to be made
in the outside world





(making a difference) is
the euphemistic phrase he used i believe




reintroduces royal honours
making prince philip
an australian knight
(now putin wants to be one too)





single handedly
rides his trusty cocky into battle
leading 'team australia '



against society's vulnerable
blue collar battalion

Dreaming In Gold

Heeding Haiku With HA
MLMM

this is real wealth
an outback autumn sunset
free gift of gold
to all of the atheists
from the grand designer

Haiku Horizons

vivid school memories
c'mon baby light my fire
always day dreaming



always day dreaming
jose feliciano
firing through my mind




friday afternoon lesson
waiting waiting  for the bell

Easter Sunday

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL

Easter Saturday

he descends into hell
silence punctuated by sobs
not knowing
