autumn songs
in undertones
learning the words
that heal
a dead man's child

even when
there are no eggs
in the old, abandoned nest
there is something
flying out of it

#tanka #5lines #poem

still holding
a little of the sun
even after it sets
one withered
yellow leaf

#tanka #poem #5lines

resting his wings
a dragonfly takes
a fallen leaf boat
to the other side
of the world

#tanka #5lines #poem #micropoetry

an old lamp
on a modern chair
tell me they no longer get along
and want to be in
different rooms

I flinch
at the whistling sound
of the harmattan breeze

how do I trust
this fleeting season

#TankaThursday trust
#Haikufeels flinch
#dailyhaikuprompt full moon fresh breeze
#vss365 sound

the driftwood
that I fling into the sea
floats back with a bird
still searching for
her tree

all poems are wanted
by someone
somewhere
let your words
enrich the soil of the world

just after making love
a toad roams the edge
of the pond
and looks for a poet
to tell its story

my unwanted poem
I carve it in the dirt
of a barren field
before the rain
takes it away

autumn nightfall
living alone together
in a barren field
a crow and a scarecrow
share a joke

autumn mist
two strangers meet
on the merry-go-round
and hope the music
never stops

autumn mist
two strangers meet
on the merry-go-round
and hope the music
never stops

"Artificial
Intelligence?"
Oh, I thought
it meant
"Average of the Internet"

kind colours
of autumn's glow
hues of warmth
and trust
and letting go

autumn sunrise
I look for my old footprints
along the river path
to remember where
I've been

#tanka #5lines #poem

autumn sunrise
I look for my old footprints
along the river path
to remember where
I've been

driving in a trance
a lover and i
fumbling in the park
these sheets
cold between us

#tanka #tankapoem #5lines #micropoem #vss365

Through fog and smoke and
dark Thames waters
painted again and again
Monet's Waterloo Bridge
holds its behemoth weight

#5Lines

after
I open the windows
the autumn wind
brings something in
and takes something out
