27-01-21 Cold Porridge

My mind is a blank,
it has been wiped very clean,
by job stress and crap.

A little remains,
enough for a few Haiku,
a line at a time.

The season is cold,
the weather’s variable,
cold and very cold.


I win and I loose,
the spin of the wheel’s a thrill,
that I can resist.

The thoughts flood my mind,
like cold porridge or treacle,
moving slowing through.

Porridge and treacle,
now that’s a mix for thinking,
but not if it’s cold.

26/01/21 To do

The rain keeps falling,
cold and wet, it is falling,
from cold cloudy skies.

Making decisions,
on job ops and mortgages,
so many choices.

It is just Tuesday,
bins go out and I’m shattered,
with so much to do.

I think of times gone,
all I’ve been through and seen,
places I’ve lived in.

I’ve loved those places,
far away and distant now,
but close in my heart.

Extra

Yes, extra, extra!
Read all about, that old call,
I kind of miss it.

Talking to my mum,
Getting all the latest news,
And some old repeats.

The promise of snow,
That old wish of winter time,
And now with lock down.

Warm hats and warm scarfs,
And some nice warm gloves do help,
In this winter chill.

23/01/21 Trees, I believe

Shopping day today,
The face masks and washing hands,
And social distance.

It is cold outside,
The air is still with a chill,
And bear trees just watch.


But those tiger trees,
They don’t stop and will not rest.
Until the hunt’s over.


Silly hippo trees,
Hog their space and like the mud,
But want more water.


The tall giraffe trees,
Sway in the breeze lazily,
And don’t mind the leaves.


Those poor fishy trees,
Like something out of water,
Swimming through the air.
