GOOD FRIDAY

on the cross
the world in darkness
scourge and blood
tears and sobs
the disciples mourn and wait
for the prophesy

HOLY WEEK

Holy Week is the most important time in the Christian liturgical calendar.
For those who observe the solemnity of the Crucifixion on Good Friday and the Resurrection on Easter Sunday...Joy and  Blessings ... Happy Easter !

they rolled back the stone
christus resurrexit vere
the tomb was empty

hot cross buns
ice cream in coffee
the sunday paper
chocolate  easter eggs
diving through waves

fruit cake at christmas
a baileys  nightcap
fresh crusty bread
fragrant laundry

swimming at high tide
in the ocean pool at night

fresh flowers and herbs
listening to jazz
gin and tonic
the smell of dawn
on the beach

my  life
a treasure trove of treats

Haiku Horizons

Painting by Debra Hurd


pay day is friday
drinks flowers and rock oysters
jazz at the basement

just heard on the news
the basement is closing down
sydney's best jazz club




poco a poco
they destroy our heritage
and its old buildings

SHAME

Mr. Blue - Michael Franks For The Weekend

SATURDAY AFTERNOON

potting herbs
sweet basil and chives
on my little balcony
the waves pound the shore
the beach is closed
michael franks
serenading me
with caramel tones
on this lovely autumn afternoon
when i finish
i will sit
drink in all this beauty
with a tipple and sigh

Sunday's Whirligig 154

This week's words come from " Brantwood Senilia" by Paul Batchelor

dangerous friends illness care giving morbid
led daylight room  leave eight trance


dangerous illness
eight friends leave
her mind led
by thoughts
morbid and trance like
dissolve
as daylight streams
through the hospital room




her care giver arrives

Tea For One

colour pinkens life
in a pretty china cup
the tea tastes better
it's a salve for depression
a balm to soothe a sad heart
