: About to Unfold

on the poppy
about to unfold,
a ladybird
|
|
|
|
kids chant
flyaway
flyaway home
|
|
|
|
to impress guests
all the silver on show,
newly polished
|
|
|
|
my ten year old conker,
still quite a treasure
|
|
|
|
forced to flee their cave,
discovery!
first view of the moon
|
|
|
|
he'll take her out 'til late
to all the teenage haunts
|
|
|
|
on long dark evenings
she goes through all his stamps,
can't let them go
|
|
|
|
somewhere across the sea
tigers still free to roam
|
|
|
|
a glimpse of Blake's heaven
in every primrose
strewn across the bank
|
|
|
|
above the plain altar
stained glass angels
|
|
|
|
earlier day by day
so many beaks
open to the dawn
|
|
|
|
a white page
in a haiku notebook
