Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

We are as the flute and the music in us is from thee...Rumi

i catch the sad notes
drifting across the arafura sea
hold them close and cry

exotic pasty cringe crescent jailer
stew  ledge emerald filter noise

the pasty crescent moon
peeped over the clouds
on a quiet evening
all the city noise filtered
in the distance

she stood on the ledge
watching the waves
bubbling like a stew
throwing her emerald ring
into the ocean
cringing at the thought
of  her  very exotic jailer

Shadorma

no swimming
a chest cough so soon
autumn blues

rains and rains
summer months went so quickly
winter's on its way

pointless wasting love
on a skilled lothario

For The Weekend.

Haibun

When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When Blood is nipped and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-whoo: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian's nose looks red and raw
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-whoo: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

William Shakespeare

early morning chapel
coughs and distant murmurings
the old nuns' snore softly

Electric light orchestra - Don't bring me down video

memories
of a carefree party age 
before the time
of facebook

before
reading text and never
having to be alarmed
by someone's genitals
flashing in your face
(sexting)



memories of a time
before the scourge of
crystal meth
' ice '

before the religion of peace
set the world on fire
resulting in
millions of refugees
with nowhere to go

before the time
of 'me' mine
not in my back yard
nothing and no -one else matters




before rigid conformity
took hold and strangled
free thought




before technology
created zombies
attached to smart phones
