Haibun: “The Fall of the Leaf”

Fall #haibun.

Who remembers the story of chicken licken and the sky falling on his head

The number of acorns this year is just amazing. I cannot recall having seen so many in a single season. Dry as it has been since early spring the local oak trees have been in good order. But when winter finally falls I do wonder how many will survive any winter storms we get this year.

Crunching over acorns,

Blanketing local footpaths,

Oaks saying goodnight.

thanks mish for this evening’s haibun prompt @ #dversepoets.pub

Quadrille #231: Making Much of Poems

to much, ooh too much — What’s too much?

Glazed.
#quadrille, #poetryrules, #dversepoetrypub.

Grainy conscience with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over.
.
Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Am I too much?

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Grainy with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over with ignorance.

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

thanks to the wonderful quadrille form i have managed to release some of the pressure that is building around me at the moment . Thanks De for tonight’s prompt @ #dversepoetrypub.

RumPus #quadrille

Quadrille #230 – Let’s kick up a rumpus!

Rumpus #qudrille.


Fully engaged with the who-ha,
Hullabaloo driven at full speed,
Into the peace.

Noise and mischief engulfed,
Feedback whining into my psyche.

 The open mic rumpus kicking,
Into beer fuelled ecstasy.

Neighbours grimacing at the clamour,
No music fan among them,
Wanting peace restored.

Ooh  what a wonderful word for a quadrille, thanks kim. here at #dversepoetspub we do like a good play with words.

Jibber-Jabber slow.

Quadrille #229 – Shall We Jabber On?

Jib-ber-jab-ber slow.


Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others, 
Jibber, Jabber.

Snails’ wit faster,
After my bath,
 Of stupid.

Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others loud,
Jibber, Jabber.

Escargots de Bourgogne,
The answer to,
The snail brained,
Twit Wit exchanges
Ending penguin poo, hullabaloo taboos.

Celebrate, lets.
#fisherywharf, #haibun, #haiku, #dversepoetspoets.


Tin for ten. Oh yes not quite silver. Ten years of the Fishery Wharf café. The very place where I learnt to share my words, my poetry. Invited I have been to participate in a celebration poetry slam, my first. So, participate I shall, I shall.

Canal side party,
Within natures corridor,
Celebrate the day.
