Gemma's Earth Gems: haiku

Small Stones

an old man swinging his arms in the bus shelter
a few spots of rain
- Kaspa Thompson - Buddhist priest 17.1.14

today's weather report:
wet pawprints on the coffee table

Peach coloured dawn,
clouds rush by dragging
a heavy grey blanket.
Barometer plummets.

In this garden
I will find peace
between each landslide

Like a curtain descending on the close of an act, the chorus of the cicadas drops steadily day by day. They do not chorus in the rain, but the bull-frogs do.

- Ashtoreth Eldritch 10.6.13

raindrops, few but emphatic -
somewhere between pinpricks
and poking fingers

Sipping memories from a cup of hot coffee - morning vibrations.

*********************************************
my work clothes hang
on the back of the door
ready for tomorrow
I am not

Tai chi on back deck.
Spider silks sway
between trees.

- Sue Blott - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
on the back of a truck,
workmen dump building debris,
haphazardly –
outside the art gallery

- Lonnard Dean Watkins - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
Graced by the company of trees, the blinding beauty of blades of summer grass, the hummingbird's hello.

- Leslie Bullock - Awake August 2016

*********************************************

my Olivetti sings
as one by one
through an inked ribbon
metal letters impress
these thoughts on paper

all meant for her

- Rouch Swalwe - Awake August 2016

*********************************************

Sifting through the rocks, sticks and shells of summer walks. Story keepers for the winter ahead.

- Gelli Ma - Awake August 2016

*********************************************

sun overhead –
the dazzling light
the silhouette
collide
