No One But Us Ghosts & a Haiku - Woken by Doves

Neville

No One But Us Ghosts

 

Apart from me

these days,

I wonder who

if anyone,

thinks of thee

as often ..

Or mouths your

name so

very fondly

and frequently,

as indeed,

I still tend to do ..

No one

but us ghosts,

I may well imagine ..

 

Haiku # Woken by Doves

 

how lucky we are

how soft our morning arrives

   woken by doves ..

    how lucky I am
    how loud our morning arrives
    bloody cockatoo..

    Appears when I'm over my lady's place.

    Sorry Neville - I'm not good with ghosts.....

      spook of the devil .. I\'ve been woke by a peahen on more than one occasion recently .. I also know a local lass who wouldn\'t mind a cockatoo ..

        I have a funny feeling these poor old dickey birds may have been a little lost and bewildered in translation.....

        Good morning Neville. I am liking your two for the price of one. Your first, is quite lovely. All of a sudden, I think being a ghost sounds rather special. There is alot of love there. And your second, being woken by doves, that is special too. What a wonderful morning wake up call. Have a great day. I have eye surgery to look forward to:)

          as ghosts we may hold so dear
          names of years past forgotten not
          in hopes we have been heard

          we are but a smile
          for morning doves to see
          and so the day begins

          😁👍

            Soft words for a soft topic and beautiful as down feathers they fall upon the ear. The combination of the Haiku following the poem was brilliant like icing on a cake.

              A fine two writes N.
              Not - 'No one here in this church but us church mice coming out of the floorboards'.
              Somewhere I heard it as a saying: 'No one here but us mice'.

              • Neville


                thank you orchidee

              • Parisab

                I really like this pairing with the haiku-like a glass of well aged Shiraz and Asiago-

                Cheers!

                  sounds like a marriage made in heaven cheers and I am most grateful ..

                  Two good ones Neville, the Haiku is very good and meaningful.
