drift in the current
distant shores gold with the sun
shimmer in the haze

---

clouds in clear water
this origami smokestack
reckless fingers weave

---

Hands withered with time
Perform familiar actions
Mind soars, body withdraws.

---

bowing at gangas feet
in an embrace so tender
and a hug so brutal

---

summon the great zeus,
this river of green gift-wrapped,
just a spark, mind you.

Sorry boys and girls,

It was poor of me I know to be gone like that. I was drifting in a river, golden haze, etc etc.

And never mind me not writing a haiku for the last piece, I didn't even thank FB for sending it to me! Dreadful. What's more I made it look as if his haiku on the front page was mine. Sorry FB, I hope that doesn't stop you sending me pix.

But to hell with me. Pile in!

No sweat Doctor Father, more pickies in due course. I didn’t expect much from the last effort. If truth be known it was just a poor excuse on my part to get the Whistler’s Mother joke in and I didn’t really expect it to last for more than half a week. What I really didn’t expect was that each effort that came up beat the one before it and left mine hiding in the shade. Te he! At least you are ok and that’s the main thing, I am sure all of us half suspected that your DIY party came from a Jewish crop.

Er... no, organic hippy buds from a mate in Northern NSW. Otherwise I thought your pic was spot on. As for poor excuse etc, no price is too high for a good bit of word play. I once flew to Paris and pushed a man into the river there solely to be able to say, "You are in Seine!" Boom tish! Actually now that I think about it, was that me or was it Spike Milligan? It was one of us anyway.

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

In the snow outside,
we smoked, then entered into
a sun drenched hay field

spurning the company
of sanctified pontificating gurus
i bow at your feet


bowing at gangas feet
in an embrace so tender
and a hug so brutal

breathing in the magic
the self referencing false me
succumbs to pure knowing

Fucking hell! Good haiku here, absolute killers. Either the month off has done everyone a world of good, or the topic is one close to everyone's heart, ha ha.

And Kikz, Hullo! How are you? All those oil spills and tornadoes, none of that is you is it? Disasters aside, somebody mentioned that you'd been asking after, and I'd been vaguely meaning to poke my head in and say g'day but I wasn't sure where (yes, yes, email obviously but I hadn't gotten around to that yet). Nor John. Hullo John.
