Copperfield’s sun shines
giving all he needs and’s not got
an adult tongue’s ear

my honeybee path
this hive entranced waggle-dance

false (haiku)

it all seems so false
as if to insist it’s real
narrative refreshed

A. H (20th March 2021)

girlhood, politics

getting her hair done
highlighted liberation
another prison

A. H / K. H-H (6th July 2020)

xiv (2020)

prose may tie you down
build a labyrinth of sense –
sit still silently

the red emperor’s time
came and went – he mourned himself
a blood red carpet

pomegranate blood
transfuses soul without speech
bird song sown to flight

haiku

types of poetry?
is that idea insanity?
does a net catch breath?

fast in the tree of hello

fool of fools, awkward,
in love with all, dumb-stuck fast
in the tree of hello

A. H/ K. H-H (12th January 2020)

cold autumn morning

cold autumn morning
clearing true from dirty snow
late flake frozen thaw

K. H-H / A. H (28th November 2019)

Power’s M.O.

trapped in their conflict
tyranny where it can’t be
reason denied

A. H / K. H-H (17th November 2019)

Inquisition v2

in their countless ways
they’ll try to provoke you
bait your devil’s tongue

A. H / K. H-H (14th & 16th November 2019)

what comes of posting such process – and for once I processed a bit more and imaged up (or would it be down for that third line?)

Inquisition

in their countless ways
they will try to provoke you
get you to respond

K. H-H / A. H (14th November 2019)

on a theme from Munch

suddenly intense
the gardens’ scream of beauty
tortured by our scythes

A. H / K. H-H (Thursday 4th July 2019)

is modern life just

is modern life just
the entrapment of innocence
still winds blow, clouds dress

A. H / K. H-H (17th November 2018 and 28th June 2019)

Pale Light

Haiku

pale light east blind white
fresh daybreak laid untrodden
awakens past life

A. H / K. H-H (16th April 2019)

Sometimes a Circle

sometimes a circle
culture impersonates culture
hungry emptiness

A. H / K. H-H (11 January 2018)

girlhood, closet

like a criminal
having to hide all traces
clues that you’re just you

a moment

how its forgotten

the ease of the unburdened

until you’re relieved

modern life

is modern life just
the entrapment of innocence
the wind blows, clouds change
