Six nights at work
Six now to unwind
I plan to write like the King

Just as wise man does,
Lazy man does not - "later!"

Dove

Slanting sunrays
Illuminate leaf and branch
But not the grey dove

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

Sunset in my eyes
blinking, tilt my face away

Better start grading.

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?
Rohirrim at heart, always.

I wrote a poem,
To commit to open source,
Now I share it here:

Last crispy autumn
An ice, cold computer laughs
in spite of the tea
Family Stealtharm | Sil's #1 Property | Knowledge of a woman, pride of a dwarf | Khazâd ai-mênu!

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.

Today's topic was Haiku and he quoted comedian, John Cooper Clarke thusly:

To con-vey one’s mood

In sev-en-teen syll-able-s

Is ve-ry dif-fic...

Ghost story podcasts,
Listening to one tonight.
A bad idea!

Afraid of the dark.
How will I fall sleep tonight?
What if a ghost comes?

Spending energy and time, renouncing joy.
Walking alone with a burden.
The future is yet uncertain.
