Boats in the harbour
Resting, waiting for the tide
To carry them home.

Boats in the harbour
Resting, waiting for the tide
To carry them home.

Pine needle fingers
Stretching their way to springtime.
Fresh growth all around.

Relentless raindrops
Washing down my window pane.
Bird conversations.
Sufficient to meet
The needs of daily living.
Birds ask nothing more.
Sitting, watching rain.
Listening to the happy birds.
Relentless pleasure.

Crying havoc and
Letting slip the dogs of war.
Where’s the fun in that?
Business is not all about work. I believe that we work to live, not live to work. So it is good, sometimes, to relax a little and take the pressure off ourselves. As part of that relaxation I like taking photographs and writing all sorts of material.
So I thought it would be fun to take some well-known quotations and give them a haiku/senryu twist.

What are you watching? Do you long for the meadow And sweet summer grass?
To me, this horse seemed to be meditating. Maybe there’s a lesson for us all, here. Maybe we could all do with a few minutes of quiet contemplation, every day. Maybe, then, we would be better able to deal with what life throws at us.
