Haiku: ‘The Word’

Scripture enlightens
Pens mightier than the sword
The word becomes flesh

Haiku: ‘His Story’

I’ve read all the books
Digested them inwardly
How much do I know?

Copyright Francis Barker 2020

Nature ascending
Our clear path to the summit
Deep roots in the earth

Copyright Francis Barker 2020

Light dispels darkness
Cockroaches scurry away
There’s no doubt or fear

Look — something’s wrong here
Crooked as a dog’s hind leg
Horse led to water
