Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

good morning midnight
opposite time zones prevail
ne'ere the twain shall meet

Kenny Burrell - Say Listen For The Weekend

Home

i'm at home
on the  ancient plains
where a mob of roos
greet me at sunrise


(Apologies for the poor quality of this pic.They are timid creatures
any closer ...and they take off.)

i'm at home
where country guys
wear akubras and work boots
ride horses drive utes
and call me luv

i'm at home
with big skies
where i can touch
the milky way and stars
with my finger

i'm at home
swimming in the harbour
swimming at the beach
swimming in a creek
swimming in a bath




i'm at home
with empty vast spaces
miles of white sandy beaches
few people
rusty corrugated iron
water tanks
dunnies and icy cold beer

i'm at home
going to the supermarket
in a swanky harbourside suburb
wearing shorts a singlet top
birds nest  hair and a straw hat
straight from the beach
no one blinks an eyelid

i'm at home with you
but not enough to live
where you live




i'm only at home
in the wide brown land
here
at the bottom of the world
next stop
the south pole

Midweek Motif PU

The Art Of Seduction

the art of seduction

wasted

on
the eyes shut
legs crossed
hands above
the bed covers
religiously inclined

they're saving it
for marriage
well that's what
they say:)

Haiku Horizons

she no longer fears
facing stark reality
she already knows

they both liked to dance
around the rim of the moon
time to return now

Prestissimo Cinquains

too fast
slow down he said
too speedy just breathe out
so she played faster and faster
laughing

wicked
rebellious chick
no one could steal her joy
she sprinted through life  - a gazelle
laughing

Sunday's Whirligig 54

breathing against kinds impossible coffee unfold
comes sleeping white probability skull bricks






the screeching of white cockatoos
penetrate the skull at the unfolding
of another pink sunrise
making sleeping  impossible

a ton of bricks lies on my chest
making breathing difficult
as i swim against the current
of prevailing thoughts

all these kinds of situations
come with consequences

there is as much probability
of coming to a solution as
you bringing me a cup of coffee
in bed in the morning
