First, two old favorites from Matt Morden:

 

 

winter sickness
my daughter tucks me in
for the first time

 

 

 

 

 

an old resume
my son colours in
his rainbow

 

 

 

 

 

     

      - and two new ones from his Morden Haiku 

 

 

 

a compost heap
listening to
the sound of worms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

loft clutter
sweeping up flies
woken from sleep

  And, three poems that first introduced me

to Alice Frampton:

 

 

 

last goodbye -
scent of his wool coat
deeper into my nose

 

 

 

 

wishing fountain

outside the cancer clinic:

some heads, some tails

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

morning milking

the white

of mother’s breath

  Don’t forget: There is a great

list of daily haiku weblogs at Matt’s Morden Haiku. 

One of the best parts of visiting haijin weblogs

is reading the comments on their work.
