Haiku: ‘Red’

Emphatic red blooms
Symbols of slaughter and hope
So never again

Haiku: ‘Open Door’

The door is open
Silence enveloping us
Enlightened moments

Poem: A Still Life of Gerberas

The gerberas you were given
had all wilted within two days.

The thought that counted
didn’t linger beyond its significance,

save to remind you to move on,
that old things are thrown away
