Am reading two books on Haikus (Japanese Death Poems and Gabriel Rosenstock’s Enlightened Haiku). It was raining all day today so I ended up spending a lot of time looking out the window at a large, glistening spider’s web, plants, flowers and my orange trees whilst enjoying Bach and Baroque music and letting little haikus bubble up occasionally to the surface. Retirement can be quite satisfying that way…
LIFE HAIKU
The constantly humming refrigerator
Knows no future
Birdsong is heart breaking

That white noise in the ears
Is it always there?
Even after we die?

Eckart Tolle:
The quintessentially enlightened
Little Piggie!

Rain on the roof
Thousands of drummers
Without hands or drums!

I give a man little pieces of paper
He gives me land with trees and buildings…
Humans are strange!

Deep silence
Entirely drowns out
Screeching jungle of city traffic

Turbulent youth
Has paved the way
To November nobility.

Phillip Glass
Artfully transforms
Nostalgia into Majesty

Baroque is good
Mozart better
Bach is best!

RAINY DAY BLUES:
All day spent
Reading and writing haiku.
What a splendid wastrel am I!
