Cragside Haiku V
Flattened nettle leaf
against wire fence, shadow-veined;
changed with each cloud pass.

Flattened nettle leaf
against wire fence, shadow-veined;
changed with each cloud pass.
Wanting to speak truth
to the hillsides and forests
I feel overwhelmed.
Thinking of people
like you being close to me
helps me feel hopeful.
Time passes slowly
and almost nothing changes
while all is renewed.

Three haiku to go together
Green moss on grey rock;
shadows playing tricks with leaves
trembling with summer.
Finding a ruined hut
I could sit and watch the leaves
past their next falling.
Seeing a peacock
butterfly on a buddleia;
momentary peace.

I’m on holiday in Northumberland. Writing poems on an iPhone is difficult so I’ll stick to haiku I think.
After we parted,
I was suddenly so lost.
Then you waved to me.
Conscious of reality,
I feel tense in this moment,
and everything sparkles.
wanting you
I
water flowers
flowers, wet,
bow,
embrace sunlight
sun lightening
skies,
casts new shadows
shadows touch
men
quietly wanting
wanting you
I
water flowers.

This is a ‘piku’ for Tilly Bud’s wewritepoems prompt. The form must be 3,1,4 syllable lines, using the digits from the mathematical constant pi (3.14159…). There may be more in that idea, I suspect.
Being vaguely mathematical (but only 9-5 Mon-Fri) I have made my piku go round in a circle, after a little prompting (see comments).
From nothing came something.
The difference?
Merely their imagination.

A very small, and quick, poem for Wewritepoems prompt 55, “Everything, and how it all began”. I feel ‘their’ is the most important word in this poem. One is not enough.
