Friday Night Haiku #129

Cherry Blossoms bloom,

A semblance of sanity;

It’s beauty, fleeting.

Friday Night Haiku #128

The truth of it is:

This is not the worst time-line;

But it’s not the best.

Thursday Night Limerick #2

Boat driving’s a hard job to master,

Mistakes lead to a maritime disaster,

To make the canal bigger

They brought in a digger,

Whilst a long line of ships shout “Go Faster!”

*

Our Lady

Ablaze and aflame,

Our Lady burns,

Seven Hundred Years,

Up in smoke and ash,

Suffering,

A nation mourns,

A world consoles,

A toast to the end

Of the Age of the Cathedrals,

The hubris of man driving her demise,

And yet though from the ashes a new lady may rise,

Forever is gone,

The silent sentinel of Paris fair,

Her haunting legacy;

Ananke.
