I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

After days of rain: December 2010

I remember
American rivers —
smooth turquoise.

my friend is dying
I don’t want to speak of it
yet I will phone her

Friday morning rain
dribbles unseasonably.
Soon the air will steam.

sunshine
after days of rain
birdsong

They write of cold.
I mop my perspiration
thankfully.

************
Friday lasts a week
and then it begins again
we’re in a time-warp

Fried haiku.
We keep cooking them up:
deep fried ... stir-fried ...

***************************
After the day’s heat
she sits up naked all night
playing with haiku.

19/12/10


hot morning
grass wet underfoot
sun high early

****************
blue sky
after long rain
summer?
