Perfection

You cannot obtain
Impossible perfection
Still, it's a good goal

Balance

After many years
I'm perfectly in balance
Sometimes inbalanced

Fun

Fun is subjective
Fun to one is not always
Fun to everyone

Laughter

I cannot explain
A behaviour like laughter
Unsolved mystery

Empirical Absence

Absence of data
Not evidence of absence
Though may be the same

Joy

Never by design
But happy coincidence
When joy meets a frown

Buzz

Where have the bees gone
Flowers, trees, pollination
No buzzing no fruit

Remembering

Sometimes I forget
My own sensibility
Sometimes remember

Tasks

A long list of tasks
Things to do sometimes forget
They always find me

Objects

Do you own objects
Material possessions
Or do they own you

People

Different perspectives
Events seen through their own eyes
Unpredictable

Parade

Waiting for surprise

Spectators watch intently
Ghastly spectacle

Full Moon

Disc of white shining
No, reflecting the sun light
Brings day to the night

Midnight Sun

Sunlight is shining
Darkness has yet to cover
The end of the day

Fish

Swiming abstraction
Climbing up through the food chain
Gliding gracefully

Laughter

Drifting through the fog
Hiding behind the laughter
The passage of time

Language

Words to tell stories
Phrases reused, resampled
What is new is old

Forgetting

So much in my mind
Filled up with data and tasks
Time to defragment

Weekend

Unplug from the rush
Working to get so much done
The weekend is here

Disappointment

What is delivered
Is not what is expected
A disappointment

Surprise

Find out something new
You see it coming but then
So surprised are you

Truth

Consequence and truth
Compromise, reality
Often so complex

Perspective

Lines converge in space
Shifting position changes
Your own perspective

Nostalgia

Remembering times
Just a romantic notion
My nostalgia

Forecast

Partly cloudy skies
Sun breaks in the afternoon
Raining on and off

Peter

Walking in the wood
The duck quacks then is silent
Eaten by the wolf

Clouds

Covering the sky
Drifting lazily around
Clouding my judgement

Technology

Whiring chirping sounds
Flashing crashing all around
My technology

Expanding

Constantly growing
An expanding universe
Unfolds in my hands

Found 2

Rushing moving fast
The flow of traffic speeds by
Reveals what was lost

Lost

Lost in a forest
Every tree looks the same
Stop for a picnic

Found 1

Wake up this morning
Sun streams through a cloudy sky
Finds me wondering

Misplaced

Time slips through fingers
Another day forgotten
Misplaced intentions

Exhaust

Organic matter
Transform through a billion years
Move you in your car

Earth Blanket

Carbon emission
Colorless invisible
Changing everything

Migration

Fly south then return
The weather here has improved
Unless you like sun

Departure

Birds fly seasons change
Leaving home then coming back
We stay where we are

Memory

A tree remembers
Each ring recalls the seasons
The passage of time

Experience

Experiences
And memories in my head
Inform my image

Spring snow

Falling springtime snow
Freezing cold apple blossom
Waits for the warm sun

Yesterday

Forgot yesterday
To write my Haiku a day
Sometimes that happens

Midnight

Midnight cold and dark
Covered in moonlight
Icy reflection

Unknown reasons

Clouds form bringing rain
Drops wonder why umbrellas
Behave so strangely

Tea Time

Afternoon gloom falls
Time to wake up get busy
Drink a cup of tea

Perceptions

Elegant flower
Beauty in the lines and curves
A bee sees its lunch

Photograph

Light in camera lens
Drifting colours through the air
Moment locked in time

Winter

Winter leaves slowly

Snow falls in a mystery

Finds me by surprise

Summer yet

Light peeks through the rain
Drops of water in my eyes
Crying for the sun

Desire

The difference between
What you want and what you need
Is not so different

Birthday

One day is different
The same as any other
Yet one year older

Construction

Building tall towers
Crane swings through the horizon
Old ones disappear
