Haiku
A Window Voice
I cannot hear the bird
Singing in the window tree
Birds are the free voice

Good morning dear readers, I’m not very well, a chest cough and cold, but I’ve time to recover before I fly to China on Wednesday, and today I’ve written another two Haiku for you. I’ll be fine, Cyndi’s looking after me, as soon as she finishes licking out my cereal bowl ….. I’ll rest up, listening to my music, and I sincerely recommend, you have a look at the Leonard Cohen Tribute concert, In Montreal 2017, on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSmvvUNTtTc&t=51s
Blue
Today’s deep sky blue
Warming my chest and soul too
Curing cough and flu
True, it’s a dog’s life
Who would kill a lonely cat
Peace to you and you

Haiku. Sky Blue
I’m covered in blue
The morning sky clears my eyes
Sea-air fills my lungs

Today
Here is a dual Haiku I’ve written this morning, and if anyone knows what this sort of Haiku format is called, please let me know.
Today
I walk past today
Remembering yesterday
Gone is tomorrow
Today my earth blooms
Yesterday is forgotten
Tomorrow I weep
