The cold wine cleanses–
And I really feel your absence.
Out of the patio door I spy:
Coloured hanging lanterns against
Teal firs.
A lavender sky.
I know the door is locked.
I fall ten years back
back into your garden. Continue reading →

Working today and time for another break? Or are you feeling warm and cosy this Sunday afternoon, curled up on the sofa watching Christmas films? Whatever you’re doing, make sure you spare some time for this month’s selection of our three-minute Haiku.
You have a minute to read, a minute to ponder and a minute to decipher for each of them. That’s only nine minutes in total – perfect for a tea break.
Our selection is a little darker this month, but the second does promise snow, just not the one you’d hoped for. Continue reading →

A selection of three Haiku to enjoy over a brew and biscuit, which should take you approximately three minutes for each.
For those readers who aren’t familiar with Haiku, they are a Japanese short form of poetry consisting of five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five in the final. Although we traditionally classify the 5-7-5 pattern as syllables, they are often referred to ‘on’ or ‘morae’ in Japan, which can lead to a different syllabic pattern.
Our selection of three-minute reads are below: Continue reading →

Forever searching: Ensnaring dreamers, ensnaring memories.

Luring dreamers into Hell, he finds desires to ensnare.
Seducing his subject, controlling mind as matter,
spilling blood with tortured screams: he welcomes your nightmare.
Breaking – bones to build his pyre; consuming bodies in the flare,
he taunts the sleeper into disaster.
Luring dreamers into Hell, he finds memories to ensnare.
Memories to ensnare.

Golden horizon: The fragrance of summer, sun-kissed.
Harvest is past, summer is ended, And we are not saved.
Jerimiah 8:20
I stare longingly at the photo in the frame.
I remember the smells that coloured the scene
Salt, coconut, cigarettes–
The fragrance of summer, our summer.
Sun-kissed. Golden. Happy.
You, me and the horizon.
Encapsulated. Contained. Perfect.
