September Challenge 2: Breakfast
Use your imagination to give us a new perspective on the first meal of the day - breakfast. haiku, senryu and tanka.
April Challenge
In Australia in April we are deepening into autumn. In Adelaide it is still warm weather. The quinces are ripening on the trees, the shops full of the harvest of summer fruits. Autumn foliage is beginning to appear on the exotic European trees we have planted along our streets. Shops are filling with warm clothes for winter. The car race and the Fringe and Adelaide Festivals have finished bringing to an end the rush of Mad March. The blocked traffic is now flowing freely once more, interstate and international visitors have flown away. In Japan the cherry blossom season should have reached Kyoto. Challenge: customs of autumn or flowers of spring. Senryu, haiku, tanka. Please use your imagination.

first thing
that we clung to mother
for the first glass
silver mist paint
ReplyDeletefrom my brush
in reckless splashes ...
oh how I lament that my
house was a masterpiece
early morning
ReplyDeletefeeding the foundling magpie
while its parents sing
on dawn pillows
ReplyDeletea cup of tea on her chest
my mother
familiar aroma
ReplyDeleteof brewed coffee
at the cafe
masks the dread of
the first day back at work
at the door
ReplyDeletewetlands ducks
waiting for breakfast
a warm rug
ReplyDeletearound your knees
I bring you
breakfast in the garden
never mind about mine
unable to face
ReplyDeletea lonely table
so early
now you are gone
so has my morning meal
