This Haiku was originally was written as a response to Brandi’s poem “Robots”, click on the link here >> https://couchtalksblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/robots/ , but alas there wasn’t a comment box with her article, so I’m presenting the Haiku here.
Us Robots, A Haiku
Us rusty humans
Need fresh air and oiling cans
Not more robot men
Ivor Steven (c) April 2020
Primavera, Lyrics by Santana
Spring
Rain of sun
as a blessing
Life is reborn with its light
spring is here
all is like this
back to the root
time of unquiet youth
in spring already.
The black earth becomes green
and the mountains and the desert,
A beautiful garden.
As the seed
brings new life
there’s in this spring, a new era.
In the air of this new universe
today there is freedom
in spring already.
The black earth becomes green
and the mountains and the desert,
A beautiful garden.
As the seed
brings new life
there’s in this spring, a new era.

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.
