Haiku: ‘Presence of the Reaper’

Cackle of magpie
Coarse caws of gathering crows
Feast of the Reaper

Haiku: ‘History Repeats’

History repeats
Apples fall close to the tree
Which one will be bad?

Reach a certain age
They don’t want you anymore
I hope you get old

Copyright Francis Barker 2020

Some revel in fall
Their favourite time of year
I can’t wait for spring

Listen to the wind
How many years must I wait
Answers in my heart
