Haiku – Page 24 – Ivor.Plumber/Poet

Shelter

Haiku:

Shelter

Shady under me

I’m a hospital Pine tree

A bench seat for three

Coastal

A Haiku

Coastal

A strong coastal wind

Blowing sand across bare dunes

Vegetation gone

January

I would like to thank Christine Bolton of “Poetry for healing” for her prompt and inspiration, for me to write this Haiku. Please Click >> Here. To look at her glorious site and poems

January

Cloudless happy days

Sunlight kisses everything

Feeling warm within

The Edge

Today I’ve written a quote, and then at the same time, I’ve converted the quote, into a Haiku. I’ll give you the quote first, then the Haiku

Quote: The Edge

“Life, is living on the edge

There’s no bottom nor top

Moving sideways is enough” – Ivor Steven

Haiku: The Edge

Living on the edge

Moving sideways is enough

No bottom nor top

Tribal

Tribal; A Haiku

I’m a proud member

A player in the world team

Now I’ve left the tribe

Dawn Eyes

Dawn Eyes: A Dual Haiku

Dawn eyes remain shut

Tiredness consuming my head

The birds are quiet

Eyes wide, looking up

I feel the ceiling crush down

Heavy sheets, like lead

Solitary, Haiku

Haiku

Solitary, thank you to Sue of Nan’s Farm, for inspiring me to write this instant Haiku. Featured Image above, my window in the centre, level seven, room 5.

Four walls surround me

Isolation inundates

Permeates my head

Ivor Steven (c)

Dual Haiku

Reflect

Cloud level seven

A step closer to heaven

My time to reflect

Green

Green’s my spring colour

Sparkle on my angel’s wings

Green makes my heart sing

This haiku was a very sad piece for me to write. Personally, the words are an ode/tribute to our grandniece, Georgia, who was only 20…… Please, I’m ok, I’m wishing my words are appropriately good enough for the poor child lost….

A Flower Gone

In a sea of lights

She, an unpicked bloom, wilted

Young and fresh, now gone

Haiku. A Window Voice

Haiku

A Window Voice

I cannot hear the bird

Singing in the window tree

Birds are the free voice
