26 days into September
the wheel of the year
yellow gold and bronze turning
bringing harvest home
red hips and berries
abundant in the hedgerows
Michaelmas daisies
the wheel of the year
yellow gold and bronze turning
bringing harvest home
red hips and berries
abundant in the hedgerows
Michaelmas daisies
soft underfoot path
makes for silent walking
my shin-rin yoku
stillness in pine scented air
tree top temple roof and sky
pine cone mala beads
birds flutter singing
an ever moving sangha
spirit of the wood

A ‘sedoka’ written after a long evening storm.
The wrath of nature
bright electric sky lights up
torrential rain flash flooding.
Forget childhood fear
counting seconds, Mother’s miles
before the rolling thunder.

reverse tanka
late summer sun on my back
the world moves on in shadows
my afternoon off~
moving dot on garden path
a bee still at work

A haibun.
I am busy compiling a Cento which is a collage of other poets work. It is fun but not sure where I stand on publishing it on here so I offer a haiku instead.
cento collaged words
in music it’s a mixer-
my unpublished fun
