the day clouds over
after sunny beginnings
we are reminded
this is the last of winter
as well as the early spring
********************
startled I come to
noticing late it’s Tuesday
I’ve been counselling
I’ve been sharing her visions
my friend herself is poem
*********************
you are in your life
my friend across the ocean
I see that it’s good
your face in the photo calm
and bathed in radiant light
*********************
again it’s Tuesday
I’ve been lost in cyberspace
gazing with a friend
at a reflection of light
now turn and make a tanka
8/8/09
in a patch of sun
curled on the Reiki table
my black cat sleeping
like every other cat
and just like himself
11/8/09
a great wind comes up
swelling the sound of the sea
to a warning roar
echoing through the dark night
like a rising tsunami
(after writing this I found out there had been a tsunami warning for that night!)
19/8/09
yesterday was long
my husband immobilised
my inept nursing
chiropractic adjustment
now he slowly recovers
(my excuse to the MySpace tanka group for forgetting to start the blog until Wednesday)
************************
husband is cranky
bored and fed up with himself
he’s getting better
laughs at the verses I quote
writing him up on MySpace
25/8/09
I went off alone
to be as a child again
watching a movie
eating chocolate icecream
with no cares for two whole hours
I love these.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a while to catch up on your poetry. I keep skipping it when it appears in my reader because I always think I need to approach it with a bit more time... and then I forget!
I do that with people's poetry too - and then have to have a big catch-up when I get a bit of leisure. Which is nice really, to have a good read all at once.
