Come, lie close to me, before you grow cold,

Let us we two, share one space, a place where into each other, we can fold,

You know me, I will be your blanket, a shield against all,

I know you, who would the same, were it I, the same, befall,

So come, come close to me, before, you grow cold,

Let us, we two, hold on to now, until the future calls.
Does this poem make sense?  What does it mean to you?

i lay my body dough out                              
        a soft slab of relief                                       
                           cooled on the fire escape
                          loaning my spore to the night

crow cries   metalling the skies
supply the greys
and hack up the winds
haiku style 25/09/24

alt version :

crow cries metalling the skies
  suppling the greys
their social bicker
  hacks up the winds

'pup' is sad and so says
i point out a 'v' of exit geese against the sky
says he's not sad anymore and he's not
a child's power  just like that
observation of my five yr old child
09/24

early haiku style versions -

1.
viewing the exit migration
of a v of geese
my child's sad mood goes

2.
exit migration
  of an echelon of geese
my child's sad mood lifts

The tree burst
with life,its
emerald leaves
aglow, birds
fluttered through
branches, moving to and fro.  
Flowers bloomed brightly
at its sturdy base,  
Adding a splash of colour
to nature’s quiet grace.
But alas all peace has to end
As dark clouds gathered
The wind began to bend...

teacher erases
marker mistake
expo stains
still left behind
a tinge of red
under the blue
a short poem on education.

Between the blacks of bending trees
I meet the moon at in betweens
I glimpse her glories, wild and worn
Aglow atop a stirring storm

Oh breathing birches blown about
Beneath her silver silence
Beyond the fields I farthest see
Along the dark horizon

There the hymns of heavy winds
Beyond the blown and gloomy leas
Where ghostly grass and rushing reeds
Dance darkly 'round my falling feet

Empty room echoes,
Silent phone, no texts to share,
Lonely heart whispers.

Green with Envy,
Red With Heart,
Blue With Passion,
My Love To Start.

Sunday morning.
A fragrant storm  
in a coffee cup.
