haiku – Page 7

Fishy, Fishy, Paw
Darting away from the cat
Laughter from the tank

A hanging spider
Swinging about on the web
Ready for some tea

Grass moves with the wind
Granting myself peace to dream
From the train window

Tea Dreaming

Tea leaves, a teacup
hypnotised by the swirling
A tea leave dreaming

I longed for the frost
yet the warmth of Spring arrived
Letting go, shedding

A frost-filled whisper
the clear sky and the moonlight
Come and dance with me

Urban greys turning
no time to tarry about
Under the gloaming

Passing verdant hills
Dreaming between the gum trees
Longing for a hug

The scent of coffee
coffee cup meets frothy milk
Caressing my cup

Once worn for freedom,
now they’ve shrunk in size, colour;
little shorts, freedom.
