A guilty half hour
sitting still in the garden
-too much work beckons.
Fear of frost fading,
the greenhouse gradually empties
and the borders fill up.
Starved by winter,
senses now anticipate
summer's new roses.
June liberation!
greenhouse tender bedding plants
now risk the borders.
June's too early dawn,
waking guilty that the day's
already half gone.
Ginkyo Tree
A Ginkyo tree is an ancient relic, a survivor from times when man did not exist. It is an appropriate name for a site that seeks to capture the nature about us, and to keep man in perspective in that nature.
I've set this site up to cache my Haiku, which I've been writing on and off for thirty years. For those of you who don't know the verse form, it is Japanese and an ancient genre. Composed of three lines of five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables, Haiku are written in the present tense, refer to nature and are set in seasonal context.
