HAIKU by Robert Exon


The mind’s clear, still pool.
Fascinated by ripples
I keep throwing stones!


There was happiness
In the photograph we took.
Was it then, or now?

Above misty fields
Pheasant glide in innocence.
Born to live, to die!


The chair collapses;
Nothing but a pile of wood.
Sudden change of mood.


Moving calm and slow.
Three chattering wrens almost
Took me for a tree!

Path of virgin snow.
No-one steps here before,
Nor ever after!
