Early Blossoms

Sweet early blossoms
A wink of warmth heralding
New lives new journeys

Birdsong

Little butcher bird
Warms the chords of daylight song
With fluted colours

Still More in the Spirit of Masaoka Shiki...

Skies may be grumbling
Winds may be wild and frantic
But your church beams light

And your church beams light
Beyond the last rays of day
Like a neon sign


NOTE
The reference to church in these haiku intends to suggest that sacred place within
as much as the sacred bricks and mortar that may be needed in physical realms.

In the spirit of
Masaoka Shiki
tsuridoko ni irihi mori kuru shigemi kana 
the evening sun
filters through the undergrowth
onto the hanging bed
and:
rai harete ichiju nu yuki semi no koe 
the thunderstorm having cleared up
the evening sun shines on a tree
where a cicada is chirping

Children

Children are knowing
They can groove with the moment
We need their spirit

Wolf Moon

Midsummer moonlight
Like a heart beat on night winds
A perfect round pearl

And the wolf moon calls
Save your soul from frozen lands
Unchain your music


NOTE
The January full moon is a midsummer moon in Australia

Eyes

Eyes are a filter
You're never too old or young
To find the beauty



It's Australia Day today!

Silk

Main Street, Mornington markets are held each Wednesday.
These are the longest running street markets in Victoria, Australia - about 30 years.
The market is dedicated to Australian designed and made products.
Often, street musicians contribute to the atmosphere - from drums to violin.


Lively street markets
Silk and scent are no comfort
For a tethered dog
