In the Quiet of the Night a Tree Gently Shakes (Haiku) by Nicholas Jones
mist rolls over seaward light growing streetlights ending sleep slips far past dawn

Up the ladder: Gone Away
Down the ladder: it was red

Thank you very much sir! I feel something of a fraud, 'cause that only took five minutes. I'm not worthy.

As Keats said, as poems do not come as easily as leaves to the tress, you might as well not bother. This is very good.

I'm somewhat bemused by this comment. I've not heard of Local H - are they from one of our former colonies in the Americas?
