Crickle crack and crackle snap
Around the old gumtree
Leaves fall down on bones and ground –
The bones that once were me.
In and out and up and down
The brains go in a web,
Try and find their own way out,
But soon they’ll end up dead.
Fall and rot we go our way
Just like the fall before,
Soon to feed another crop
Remembered nevermore.

A Haiku
Yep, more words and stuff.
Been kinda boring so far.
At least I’m awake.
Another Haiku
Should I take more notes?
Not when there’s nothing to write.
So I guess I won’t.
Not a Haiku
Coffee poured or pressed
Is perfect for sipping
On those slow mornings
Before the fog drags off.
But Starbucks instead
Omits the thoughtful steep
Injecting quickly
Caffeine I really need.
