Red leaf on green leaf,
Gentle breeze catching the trees,
Monolithic wall.

Miss Emin's messed bed,
and her father's sweaty shed-
happy memories
~ written by me in May 2010, following a visit to an art exhibit of some of Tracey Emin's work.

Birdsong on the wind,
frames the Daffodils battle.
Winter has ended.

If art is a bird,
Its going to sit in a tree,
and crap on your head.

War, war with no end,
No silent guns after all.
Death, Death with no end.
No silent guns after all.
Death, Death with no end.

I'm going to post my daily haiku here on the blog so I have some place other than notebook to hold the work. Given the OU still hold all the blogs I did in 2011, I guess they are pretty reliable!
Here is this week so far
25th September:
A Morning Haiku,
Total blank thoughts led me here,
Still very sleepy.
26th September
Autumn sunshine breaks,
And trees alight with colour,
True tranquillity.
27th September
Rain on the hillside,
Dreich sky stifling the light,
Cool weather sets in.
28th September
Bird at top of tree,
Talons grip resolutely,
Stalwart guardian.
29th September
Washing clothes priority,
Forums seem so important,
Procrastination,
And today (30th September)
Well we can hope again,
The Prime minister says so,
Suspending disbelief.
