the tired monk's pond


i)

fish freed from
glassy winter home
feasting full
on mosquito larvae

thank-you

ii)

sitting too long by the pond
cold coffee remnants thrown
temple dogs have a taste

  1. I always do feel bad for goldfish stuck in a tiny bowl. Glad this one's free!

  3. I tried 3 times yesterday to comment on this but Explorer wasn't playing fair. Now on Chrome.. I can't remember what I said; suffice to say that I enjoyed the piece...

  4. it's there in your soul, something well balanced. i was going to say well measured but then that would imply that you perhaps did all of the work.

    i smile when i read you, and feel something release.

  5. Old Ollie,
    I'm pleased to read that the thaw has finally arrived.
    The tired monk deserves some warmth in his life.

  6. how does the caffeine sit with the temple dogs?
    seems a bit risky to share, to me.

  8. The freedom from the bowl and playing around with time can be most fulfilling.
