dandelion P u f f
I try to grasp
the expanding universe

we all go
the same way-
cherry blossom

dew-light spills
between valley blossoms
we make our own path

robin red breast
winter morning sun
artificial tree

tea leaves steam
on the compost...a spectrum
in wet slippers

new year's...
the widow chooses
her favourite kitten

twisted tubes
watercolour blues - cords
of tissue speckled blood

August wind
under a pram’s hood
a baby cries

August wind
on a man’s face
first drops of rain

weeping willow
sways in August wind
a crow caws

a woman reads
the names of the dead
August wind

so bright
in the August sun
an old woman’s white hair

August wind
a man recalls
lost streets in Belfast

lilting moonlit arms -
susuki grass swayed

from deep in the peony's stamens
a bee crawls out
a reluctant parting

this year
leaning into the sunlight
a young oak

too close to the wall
this young oak...but that will be
not my problem

little oak-
i'll protect you
as long as I can

sitting here
again
in this place I'll never be
again

this is what it is
to transcribe some

sacred
beautiful
suffering

around me
into me

the rivers of unknown
flow in

nothing mystical
just admitting
I know nothing

while
yet
I need

a little taste

Do you think he'd be peeved if I haiku'ed all over his serene photos ?
