Wordle 99 MLMM

strange to be
jettisoned
like stale bread
or an old suitcase
thrown on a heap
again

know thyself
hold on to those sunbeams

if you have the temerity
to speak out frequently
be certain you can afford the luxury

anyways
enough of this navel gazing
i'm famished
let's drive to the junction
do lunch
buy tickets
fly away
together

WIPE OUT WAIMEA SURF 2016

leaping from a wave
like jumping from a building
four storeys - wipe out

Haiku Horizons

Padova

a sunset
in italia
che bello

padova
an american finds home
in the land of sighs

Sunday Scribblings 2

only in fairy tales
kiss a frog and nothing happens
nothing at all

For The Weekend

For Peter Newbury
(one of the world's great oboe d'amore players)

in the beginning
was the word
and the word was God
and then he created Bach
to remind us
then inspired musicians
to never let us forget

We Are Stardust

we know
there are too few
acts of love

she
the silent witness
powers through
the diurnal brutality
with boadicean might
brilliant at dodging arrows
immune to the onslaught

the only chink in the armour
is love
shattering the warrior to sobs
when witnessing genuine goodness
rare acts of kindness and affection

all
a reminder
of how far removed
we are from the garden

Midweek Motif PU

Haiku Horizons

not for me  - the folk
exploding like spiders 
across the stars

age brings to an end
yellow hot blazing candles
burn burn fabulous

i'd prefer to be
hiding under a carapace
with a gentle snail
