Raindrops
Drooping raindrops show
The rainbowed world around,
Alas! It too drops!
Flower garden
Old chrysanthemum falls
Does the garden weep?
Why does Man bereave?
Spider
Spindly crawler, it
thinks webs make corner pretty
Why then does Man swat it?
Envy
Grey dove, cloudy sky
His flight is my envy
My warm home is his
Envy II
Bramble and Oak, both
Envy the other. One on sunny days
Another on stormy nights

Autumn is here now
Inside: warm cozy blanket
Outside: clouds, rain, fog
Stuck inside today
Alone with nothing to do
What would you have done?

Last crispy autumn
An ice, cold computer laughs

One of my favourite musicians, Nick Cave, runs a page called Red Hand Files. It's a Q&A site for fans struggling through life in general.

Afraid of the dark.
How will I fall sleep tonight?
