HAIKU

We are all authors

Scribbling in life's storybook

With no editor.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Even if this was Godot, I'd wait for it. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

the teabag's squished and squashed and mashed

'tween teacup and 'tween spoon,

the teapot's hopes are tossed and dashed,

its song now out of tune.

Accuracy in a world of errors. ☕

At the convention 

For haikus, three new poets

Walk into a bard.

Treat it like any challenge 

And just ask A.I.

Sweeping the weekend away 

With its long work broom.

To allow us to pass through

The Straits of Sunday.

Sent out to the universe:

Unedited stars.

Mere subconscious yodelling

On faraway hills.

The words 'Love' and 'Hate'

Come from the same alphabet:

Letters choose wisely.

Time is a garden:

And we are the hardiest

Of perennials.

From expectation to satisfaction in just one sip. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Rest awhile & take some time

To drink this brew & then unwind

For tea is not just any drink

It makes us ponder, stop, and think.

 

"Do people still wash their front steps?"

"And how do porcupines have sex?"

"Why is Pluto not a planet?"

"And where the hell's the Isle of Thanet?"

When I was a kid 

Alphabetti spaghetti

Counted as homework

At the confetti blossom,

And us oldyweds.

Repeat after me.

Sipping is fun but life demands the occasional slurp. ☕

A universal flat-pack

With no instructions.

Language is broad strides:

Haiku's are the tiny feet

Of perfectionists.

I thank the woman who picked the leaf,

the farmer who milked the cow,

the potter who made my old, chipped mug,

and the present for just being now. ☕

Now is a market 

Where The Past and The Future

Haggle for our time.

Prime numbers of poetry:

Elegantly formed.

Makes the world feel that bit saner. ☕

My Sunday best. ☕

Lines are now forming

Atop Poetry Mountain:

High queues for haiku's.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

As I make it, it's a hope, as I drink it, it's a pleasure, when it's finished, it's a memory, then it returns, to a hope once more. Tea is life in a cup. ☕

Time's playing Pooh Sticks

Casting twigs into the stream - 

Watching us float by.

To the moon and at itself:

Space between the ears.
