Wet Spring: December haiku 2011

wet Spring
my parsley dies
anyway

1/12/11


fairytale mountains
misty in the crevices
outlines floating clear

2/12/11


Who comes silently
in the rain
glimpsed as a shadow?

5/12/11


the day is over
told the truth
and we all survived

**********************

he goes to bed now
head aching
a long kiss goodnight

#lunes

9/12/11


full moon eclipse night
overcast
we’re early to bed

#lune

10/12/11


sleeping cat
paw covering eye
‘Do Not Disturb’

16/12/11


the atheists
have all the best arguments
come to the same end

18/12/11


at SummerSolstice
all I ask of the Goddess
is my darling’s health

22/12/11


a quiet circle
as two old people
observe the Solstice

the earth quakes
a cyclone threatens
we breathe deep

guided by instinct
we pray for balance
and a good outcome

23-4/12/11


I read poetry
quietly
the porridge burns

*****************

when I was four
my first naked pink earthworm
so alien I ran screaming

28/12/11


poetry workshops
in Pentridge Prison
time of my life

no Christmas greeting
yet no obituary
for her a new year?
