Kubla Khan's 'pleasure dome'














Do you think Kubla Khan's "pleasure dome" is a Yurt?

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
a stately pleasure-dome decree:"

A Flock of Geese

a flock of geese
fly into a power line
and light the night sky

True Grit

I've just watched the 2010 Coen Brothers film 'True Grit'. An absolute masterpiece.

Summer Haiku

We are now half way through the holiday. Here are a few haiku. They are not arranged in any order. Hope you like them.

in morning
light I’m reading
Siddhartha
...


evening light
lays upon the deer park
like a feather
...

water flows
over stones – recalls all
the fallen rain
...

water flows
over stones – reflecting
on the rain to come
...

at either end
of the still pond
shrill water
...

at the still pond
the echos of children
playing elsewhere

...

hidden in
a green labyrinth
children playing

...

after rain
air moves through the house
fresh and cool
