Haiku Horizons- Fire





the inferno's out
still smouldering after all
these years and years

Bushfire



a smokey sunrise
all the signs are there you can smell
imminent danger



cosy by the fire
another christmas eve goes by
another silent night

For The Weekend




a little magic
i bought a christmas tree with
changing coloured lights

it blinks in the night
purple green blue and pink
it makes me happy

Narcissus



he does not have Narcissus' physical beauty
but they share a couple of character flaws
self - love and vanity

where does this self delusion
and baseless self confidence come from

did mother convince
this neanderthal look alike
that the sun was shining
out of his dark nether region



arrogance and hubris
caused anger in the gods
nemesis turned narcissus into a flower

wonder what nemesis has in mind for the donald

Carpe Diem # 1318



love is a mystery
dangerous and exciting
a force for mayhem






dutch marta hari
tiptoeing through tulips
or spilling secrets
victim of love or a hard
hearted calculating spy

human polluters
everything they touch they ruin
even the ocean

memories of my nan
in marcel wave hair curlers
wearing a huge apron
bustling away in the kitchen
singing
every little breeze
seems to whisper louise


my nan loved maurice
he sings very good engleesh 
just like your grandpere 



FOR MY DEAREST GRANDMOTHER
who envied Maurice Chevalier's good English !
