Ruin

In the wood
derelict

Roof...gone
windows...blind
door...empty

Hearthstone
hearth
stone
cold
stone

World ruined
my world ruined?
I view in horror
the dereliction...

Will there be
another generation
to populate the land?
Will there be
(for me?)

Trees rooted,
reaching for the light,

Wait...
listen...
birdsong...

Maybe.
listen...

Sweet valley sounds

Inaugaration Day

Marching in my heart,
standing with the unimpressed,
dancing with the wolves

Shapeshifting

Eyes in the darkness...
do you not see them glowing
beyond your camp-fire?

On the beach

I lose my balance,
ferocious waves tip my world
just for a moment

Seventeen

First five syllables
then seven syllables more
then another five

And to my mind, each
line could stand alone, though these
obviously don't....

Aberystwyth

Heaven here today
acorns fall like pennies
blue autumnal sky

Morning haiku for Ben

Southern Rail

Naming my blessings
i lie in the night awake
scrolling your options...
