Sunday Post Card Art

grim glittering crumble empties confetti voracious unfurls wind split mind sign deck

all hands on deck -

this old saying now alive

with new promise

glittering rhinestones -

did the stars fall out unto

the coat of this guy

a grim wind blows

split banana flower unfurls -

morning birds sing

cookies crumble in

the hands of a toddler -

and grandma as well

voracious ants feed -

leftovers a confetti

their intimate prize

sign of attention

empties her mind of all else

rain on the rooftop

The SundayWhirl - Wordle

tattered chattering drag dabbed face hem trapped frame squinted cruel flecks skittered scalded

neon lights flash

she squinted every time -

loud chattering

with her face dabbed

it all seemed so easy -

just grab the frame

oh cruel fate

flecks from a bonfire

skittered her way

a scalded pigeon

in a cast iron cauldron -

all thats left behind

trapped again this time -

the tattered hem of her skirt

as they drag her off

words mingled with sky -

those morning birds spell awake

they call to sleepers

dim the night colours -

though damp the dew on flowers

ladybird wings twitch

the sun comes out

to gaze on every leaf and space -

a cloud drifts onward

shattered dreams of night

split shallow realities -

which shadows are true

undulating greens -

the picnic spread billows out

flowered table cloth

peppered fingers licked

a chow made by children's hands -

chopped green tomatoes

only the green leaves

from the poui tree assail

school on vacation

Friday Writings #37.Stay Happy And Alive.

Growing up there were always dogs in our family. But as an adult I never wanted pets. I always tell people: children and plants I am happiest with.

So yesterday i went to the NALIS library in Port of Spain to read my book 'The Naughty Angel' and conduct a haiku workshop with a group of children, who were happy to listen and to participate. There was joy shared.

masked faces listen -

a story read aloud to

eager ears and minds

its question time now -

hands shoot up everyone wants

to give an answer

let's write a haiku -

Enough words on the white board

poems abstracted
