 late in the year

all the birds have flown away

leaves are falling

 sleet slanted sunshine


love in the afterglow


dancing on the leaves


 young gull all alone

makes its own decisions 


when the flock has flown

on the darkening


through the rain-smeared window

empty blue pots 

Sunday, 17 November 2024

 we pulled at the grass 

and ran the cut home to mum

that magic kiss

 running to school

instead of taking the bus


big pink bubble gum

 waiting & waiting

all depends on the red seat

and who will sit there

 lamplight

is that the first snowflake

christmas stocking

 writing haiku 

on a riverside seat 

a leaf in my saki 


i love it here

with the leaves falling 

riverside lunch
