February, 2019 - Haiku Book

Thursday 28/02/19 Waking

So I closed my eyes,
And then, soon I realised,
I was far away.

Floating up on clouds,
Then riding rushing waters,
To sun bleached beaches.

Where do I get off?
I wish I knew, for too soon,
I wake in my bed.

I dream of dreaming,
A dream that will take me far.
And wakes somewhere new.

Maybe I shouldn’t
Close these eyes tonight and dream,
But can it be stopped?

And so, I go slow
And then, fall even slower,
Down, ever deeper.

Going round in circles,
Where it ends, nobody knows!
Just getting giddy.

What is coming next?
Can’t see the wood for the trees.
Branch out, stick around?

There’s alot to do,
The sun got the jump on me,
Left me standing still.

Amazing February,
The warmest day on record!
What will today bring?

The book will come out,
November 19, I think.
Still away to go.

Just before seven,
This is what the sky looked like,
A golden sunrise.

Painting such colours
The sky filled with golden rays
Caught my eye, it did!

Eva Cassidy,
I forgot she sings so good,
Beautiful vocals.

Such a tragic loss,
I’m stuck ‘Over the Rainbow’,
I see birds flying.

The pen yesterday,
Made a big mess on the page,
An inky poopee.

No deal, is no more?
Will it all be delayed now?
Yes, Labour’s still crap!

It tried to escape,
Ran around the tree and up,
But sun caught its fur.

A secret squirrel,
Asks,”What are you looking at?”
And then dissappears.

Pigeon stands on watch,
So what is it looking for?
Defensive posing.

Safe in its fortress,
Branches shield it about.
That’s a mean pigeon!

What’s the difference,
Between a plum and a pear?
Or a pair of plums.

An orange mix up,
Tangy, Zangy, super taste,
Great with chocolate.
