Happiness, like fog
is so difficult to grasp
Shifting states of mind

Haiku: Being Happy
Category: poems
Poem: Through the Window
In the cool still air I hear
dogs bark in the distance;
a clockwork train hoots through
on the old main line.
The turning willow hangs limp,
a sombre backdrop to the washing
which never had a chance to get dry

Poem: Fall Back
Fall back, spring forward.
The motions of a dynamo
in the sky all around,
unsuspected by all those
who walk around blindfolded,
as if awaiting execution.

Haiku: Natural World
The world is not one
but a group of neighbourhoods
So what is yours called?
