mango moon
don’t go to sleep
I’m not finished with you
I haven’t posted in a while and found this among my haiku sketchings. Just something hot and sticky while I watch the mountains turn white here in Northern California.

Haiku and a photo I love
.
A favourite photo and an unrelated haiku: This little ‘Paper Daisy’ sits on Logan’s Ridge of Mt Barney. I had to scramble out precariously to take the shot (like I didn’t enjoy doing that) professional nature photog style. In the background are Mt Ernest and the ‘wedding cake’ shaped cliffs of Mt Lindsay on the QLD/NSW border. I love living here.

November Night
.
November night old familiar friend
Let’s sit and be old friends again
.
Gaze at your stars till eyes grow weary
Sit and watch your thin clouds clearing
.
Again you’ve hung your humid coat on the hook of crescent moon
Still it hangs between intermittent soft breeze awakening, stirring
.
I enjoy our thoughts which pass unspoken of today, tomorrow, morning
Just to sit here, be here, breathe your soft night’s story
.
Unspoken air, warm yet cool, still yet moving slight
Breathe on me your quiet quilt of Queensland November night
