The Outsider View

Sky pierced by stars
The game of connecting dots
Constellations twinkle

The last bird singing
In the chorus at sunrise
Singing from his heart

The portrait wanted
To move outside the frame
Something new to try

Wrapped in quilt of dreams
From the fog of sub-conscience
Words precipitate

Waves wash away my steps
A blanc page to start over
Leaves swayed by the breeze

The lost outsider
Bumped into the world’s problems
Bruises and scratches

It doesn’t wait

Time beats on
Without a thought for me. My
Day ends quickly.

Attraction

Our eyes met;
Melded together.
Then I blushed.

Surreal Nature (haibun)

Walking through the sweet flower meadows, I pause to watch the sky lark
as he tumbles joyously in the sunlit sky and perches on a branch
to sing in such sweet melody that mistle thrush and blackbird join in.

Flowers smelling sweet
in such a variety
of colour and shape

A peaceful place to sit and enjoy all nature has to offer
to lean back and let go of every day stress and woes. To
celebrate just the joy of being alive and able to enjoy nature

Nature does her best
if only we care to look
at all her splendours

Collection of Birds (haiku)

Happy pelican
eating an enormous fish
see his pouch bulging

Merry kingfisher
waiting on his pole for fish
he darts and spears one

Full of joy and fun
the skylark warbles in glee
delight in each note

Fearsome eagle drops
plummeting down like a stone
striking hard he kills

Shooting Star

Glittering silver
shooting star arches the sky
disappearing fast

The Major Star (haibun)

The major star who was hundreds of centuries old
was finally dying yet not in vain, for with its death
comes new life and new planets formed as it splinters

Water so cool and clear
life giving to all our worlds
stars birth formed you

As a star dies the gases ignite and fuse into droplets
these then are carried to other worlds to start new life
Scientists believe that all life came from these deaths

Moonshine beams dancing
causing flickering shadows
that dance joyously

Our own moon and all the sun's orbiting planets were
formed in one of these explosions. All we see and touch
came from a dying major star

Sunbeams hit the water
refracting and enhancing
the crystal river

Sometime in the future our own major star the Sun will
die leaving life as we know it gone yet as prophets
have said death is the start of rebirth so lets enjoy our stars

Stars hide their faces
behind the fluffy white cloud
just an odd twinkle

Mountains (haiku)

Ancient mountains brood
dominating the landscape
with majestic face

The Hush Before Dawn

The hush before dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day


Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks


Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard
stillness shrouding all

A Little Pumpkin (Haiku)

A country bumpkin
Satisfied with life I am
A little pumpkin
