skilled marksmanship was
the ultimate trouble shoot
apple sealed their fate
cruel crossbow contest brought
and end to feudalism

Haiku.

Renzo Piano
knows "You must be a poet"
His buildings have soul

rancid, greedy teeth rip and rip while once-fresh abundance spoils too quickly to recover

busy bumblebees
droning the lotus sutra
sweet honey harvest

The great white oak wood
shades the sky, drinks all rain
starving the undergrowth.

Sketch of an ancient tree pale green and mustard against a blurry sky. Watercolour, fibre tip pen.

Emley

Winter-swish arrives on the tide.

North East wind skirls geese in waves to the mudflats.
Red lights blink on the horizon as the last blackbird cries in the crisp air.

This is where elm trees grew.

Only cracked aspen
and a few birches stand.

Painting of Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo Da Vinci.

On “Lady with an Ermine"
Bele Ferroniere!

Her ebony rosary hangs at her pale throat
She looks beyond the frame
not at me.
Her cool grey eyes are for someone other
seen and frankly assessed.

Her long slim fingers pet the neck of a white muscley beast 1/2

a woman is smiling while looking up at the snow falling from the sky . ALT: a woman is smiling while looking up at the snow falling from the sky .

out the window

first snowfall
doe with twin fawns

supermoon highlights
scattering diamonds

beauty can weaken
the knees

a sacred silence
a different kind of hush

settles in satisfied souls
