Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

the sun burns bright
rocks sizzle  - feet dangle
in the blue green sea

the sun burns bright
on this scorcher day
without a sea breeze

rocks sizzle  -feet dangle
bum barbecued like a steak
i dive into the sea

in the blue green sea
i swim underwater
it's cool down here

For The Weekend

Haibun

Soil contamination is a global problem particularly in inner city industrialised areas which have now become gentrified . Lead content is at dangerously high levels and results in disastrous health consequences for children.




innocently
children play in the back yard
never knowing

Three Word Wednesday

lackadaisical to the core
a makeshift life is his
miraculously
he still summons up the energy
to throw on some underpants
rather than wandering about nude
scaring the wildlife

The Treadmill

i'm late i'm late i'm late
for a very important date
no time to say hello goodbye
i'm late i'm late i'm late

no time to smell the roses
no time for old friends
no time for reflection
careers all consuming

tied to cell phones
tied to the trap of consumerism
energy expended on making dollars
for ' must haves '

the right job
the right clothes
the right car
the right house
the right spouse
the right children
the right current values
 = success


all the rabbits
a mirror image of each other
basking in reflected glory
all doing well


Midweek Motif PU

Haiku Horizons

dreamer and doer
head in clouds feet on the ground
a balance is best




reading the future
in coffee grounds or tea leaves
depends on culture

quiet time
for a while

love note
long term marriage
