SOME RECENT HAIKU



As the world trips up,
how do we stop falling?
- lean in, take a step

Silver horizon
Rain kissed wreckage, submerged rocks
Noah is drowning

stove tops, ponga fronds...
spirals wind... and release me
dipping paddle swirls

Those leprachaun eyes
Be off with you, o’er green hills
To dance upon tombs

Soup; warm as lovers
I found you in my toaster
Avocado smooth

A kitchen diamond?
And my carbon footprint was…
Just the soul of your choux

Pancakes in the pan
...Coffee in my favourite cup
(missing the syrup)

Antisept the wound
Cold silverhaven heart stills
Solstice suffering

aint complicated
Fire & ice, hissing heart melts
Sublimation blues

Ocean in my shirt
Heart wave heaving, Neptune freed
Salt in my creases

when silence falls
beacon candles burn down low
heart shadows flicker

Manukau sunset
from up a green volcano
over sewage ponds

mussel encrusted
a broken mooring washed up
this is how life goes
