Zenku #603
Clouds apprenticed to
the day
practice their colours and shapes
Zenku #602
Cup to kettle?
Kettle to cup?
Who cares? Pour.
Zenku #601
Garden shrubs lopped
and squared, precisely,
for a day
Zenku #600
Blue car white van
red bike flagging
a breakfast baguette
600 Zenkus – Rainy, Stormy, Showery Day Poems
You know the drill, comrades – celebrate!
Zenku #599
A snake warms
itself nearby
ignoring my fear
Zenku #598
Whipper-snipping
defenceless grass
Its blades blunted
Zenku #597
The pregnant neighbour’s
new garden growing
ahead of her
Zenku #596
A stretch of
carnations beyond gravity
The vase tilts
Zenku #595
Soft growl half
bark feigning
mean-eyed threat
Zenku #594
On the corner
a vacant shop
leasing airy hope
Zenku #593
Sky-gazing childhood
searching for our
stardust parents
Zenku #592
Silhouettes emerge
and leave
with dawn
Zenku #591
Watching from photos
the ancestors’ eyes
my eyes
