Haiku for 2025 [No.18. Wibbit!]

‘scuse my croaky voice,

went swimming in the old pond,

that frog’s in my throat.

Never Let Me Go

Floating on my back
weightless in the turquoise water
off the shores of Koh Phi Phi

All these years without a break
Now, I watch the crust of duty
gently peeled from damp eyelashes
Invisible hands, unburdening me

Gower

The sand was always hot

                beside the white dunes and the coarse grass

               

The sea was always blue

                between the black rocks and the horizon haze

 

The beach was always ours

                between the seagull shout and the distant crowd

 

We were always alone

               between the far world and our near union
