Frost-making

‘Frost-making stillness’-Ted Hughes

‘Tattered his ears and battered his head’-Ted Hughes

Any starlit land

Any golden sand

Waking up to an eye of flame

‘The lace of first light’-Ted Hughes

‘A rainbow of purples’-Ted Hughes

‘Earth glitter and heaven glitter’-Ted Hughes

Birds ‘Like soft rockets’-Ted Hughes

The bloom of sea life

What can we find in the tide

Haiku ‘The blossom-viewing party’

Haiku Basho

‘Scent of plum in a flesh of rising soul!

The Mountain path

Weddings and embellishment

Kissed

We are not finished

Under the moonray

Haiku-Seibi

‘A dreamlike world of blossoms’

Bright moon tonight

Drifting into the bedroom

Panic

It’s setting in

Every mouthful

I’m swallowing

I don’t like selfies

I want to be slim

I’m counting the calories

Please God please,let me win

I really hate a weigh in

When I get a panic attack

I can’t breathe

Like I’ve found a rat

Depression

I wake up in the morning

The tears are pouring and soaring

Why did I end up alone?

Why did I take this road?

I feel so unhappy

Even when I feel computer super savvy

Gonna keep on writing poetry

Are you my destiny?

Confused and alone

Church

I walk in the building

I’m on a search

I’m praying for peace

I’m praying for work

I’m praying for friends

That do not hurt

I want to feel clean

I don’t want dirt

I want to feel well and

Sing like the birds

Sunday Television

It’s a decision

Which rubbish channel deserves a look and a listen

I want to lie I bed and keep kissing

4

It’s a lazy day

Sunday roast is dishing

Anything with custard

It feels like I’m risking

A nice bottle of wine we are defo finishing

The best thing about Sundays

Is the smell from the kitchen

It’s a wonderful day a sundae
