Haiku No. 6

Breathing petrichor
earth and flora replenished
arid summer ends.

Haiku No. 4

Stark reality
winter casts a frosty veil;
dishevelled garden.

There is a nexus
between myself and fuchsia
as I watch them grow.

Unread books on shelves
great works of #literature
now covered in dust.

Mayor Basil Grumble
gets lost often
and turns up late
to events.
His #geography’s not much good.
I bought him a map
to help him get around,
that didn’t work,
for Basil
held the map
upside down.

Basil is #famous in our town
he is the local Mayor
he’s always headline news, causing
chaos everywhere
at summer fetes and Christmas Fayre
Basil, he will be seen
the centre of attention when
embroiled in a scene.

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to write a narrative poem and have decided this November is the time to do this. Here is the start using yesterday’s and today’s prompt.

Landscape gardening
a growing #busines concern

I look
in the mirror
to see an
#argent
version
of me.
Brunette
strands
of hair
replaced
by silver,
how can that be?

#Heliacal light
starts the day,
time to wake up
time to play,
tend the garden
while it’s light,
much to be done
before night
falls, stops me from
digging holes,
soon the moon it
will be whole.
