New seat in the park…
They reflect upon nature
and wait for vandals.

BuddhaRocks project: a little white flower
RENEWAL
Bitter-sweet deep
rancid the flower weeps
strangled by sleep.
#
Beneath brown earth
thick with snails
she awaits birth
as the wind wails.
#
The snows fall
and Spring fails
as a grey wall.
#
Roots search in vain
where worms squirm
drowned by rain
sun turns earth firm.
#
On into the light
pushes the shoot
crowned flower white.

A tails and claws haiku
Dog in the alley…
The neighbourhood cats scarper,
bushed tails skyward.

Novice magician casts spell

A progressive haiku about noise
Ape-house at the zoo…
A great family outing:
screams, snot, candy floss.
*
Enjoying the garden…
Teenagers’ windows open,
loud music thumping.
*
Footballers swearing…
A Sunday stroll in the park
on the day of rest.
*
Walking on the Downs…
Free tickets to the air show,
mobiles ringing.
*
Reflecting on ears…
The miracle of hearing
and the art of quiet.

I dedicate this progressive haiku to one devoted dad who snatches moments from parenthood and cleaning sticky noses to write haiku and experimental fiction at graphitebunny.wordpress.com
