Two Thousand and Twenty: A Dual Haiku
Last year’s sins are gone
New year eerily hovers
Could be right or wrong
The bells toll louder
Perennially we jeer
Is there an answer

A Poet’s Postcard
Dragonfly wings are open wide
Guarding greenery under her sky
Shading this wilderness courtyard
The old poet’s postcard
Full of eternal daydreams
Nurtured upon a flowerbed’s requiem
Now an empty ballroom’s finale dance
Melpomene’s* everlasting romance
*Melpomene, is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, initially the Muse of Chorus, she then became the Muse of Tragedy, for which she is best known now.

Nobility: A Dual Haiku.
Be fair, truthfully
Humans are not endangered
Show integrity
Animals need us
Ethically let’s unite
Honour our assets

Purple and Mauve
As my evening courtyard garden glows
Old flowers cast purple and mauve shadows
Upon the muse of my dreams
Against a background, once leafy green
Hanging there, a mauve fairy lavender
Above an ageing purple avatar
Looking like that flowering woody sage tree
Petals of purple and mauve, waiting to be free

A glorious collection of quotes Niki, and i particularly like this one..
“To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.” -Stephen Hawking

After a day of giving thanks
The night sky’s moon did glow
Before the next day begun
In this commonwealth of man
We celebrate Boxing Day
By continuing an old tradition
Of giving gifts to the poor people
With the annual charity gatherings
Of feasts and presents for the needy
And here today, my sister’s birthday
A family party with more festivities
Again a day of sharing love and happiness
Giving thanks for our togetherness
