Haiku: Honour

From time forgotten,
future is formed in the now –
seizing this moment

Study the Bible. And the apocrypha. The learning curve will never straighten.

We are all flotsam

embrace this impermance –

forever the same

Pebbles on a beach
Stars high in the firmament
Relax in this realm

Runaway (Poem)

Footprints along the strand
stretching off to nowhere

A beach all my own
save for curious gulls

eyeing from Hesperides’ skies.
Kernow was never so lush

or windswept; are they bells
pealing on the breeze, like

lost Lyonesse beckoning
to this broken soul?

Maybe heartless time is melting,
melding; I run and run

into the gelid ocean, the two
once twain — now consumed

Haiku: Looking South

Ripples like wet skin

Midday spangles looking south

Waders distant calls
