In the Great Tradition of Marcus Clarke…
8 05 2008Marcus Clarke author, bohemian and librarian was one of the many librarians who wrote on company time. It is a great tradition. Now we write blogs and wikis. Who I am to ridicule tradition?
This mornings train ride:
Co-joined Haiku #1 and #2
selfish heart betrays
lines crossed by indifference
to secret wishes…
spilling your secrets
spiteful and hallow revenge
guilt and remorse grows
Haiku #3
Marquez wrote of love
unrequited - raw passion
gut-wrenching desire…
Haiku #4
Our music filled house
Quiet now - I long to hear
Your guitar again
Haiku #5
In a drunken haze
stumbling across you - eyes meet
unexpectedly…
the train ride is not wasted!– like #5–all good
