Wandering Dromana beach on a cool summer's day

Treasuring the joys and tears
As they walk the beach

Love smiles quietly round them
Just giving some time

Haiku Challenge #16 ~ Sin in Haibun

There's a house not far from me that never changes.
It simply is.
To me, it is like a broken link in the chain of life. It is like a stage without actors, a sky without weather changes, an earth drought-ridden.
It's a sin to let a house bathe in the sunlight and shadows of the seasons, shuttered, alone...

No circulation
No tending of the garden
No family love

A grim door that never greets nor farewells, stands like a locked memory - of someone.
A gated driveway locked in bland nowhere. Somehow there is a sense of a child, discarded, wondering if parents will ever remember to come home; like a body adrift in limbo, seeking a heart and a soul.



Scraps of energy
Like shredded, lost momentos
Mere driveway relics

There's a house not far from me that never breathes, never blinks.
It simply survives.
It simply is.

Haiku Challenge #10 ~ Special Day

I usually only travel into the heart of Melbourne a couple of times a year.
On this day, for the first time, I saw the amazing architectural delight of Melbourne Central.
The old tower has been preserved and a huge skydome and stylish shopping complex have been built around it - all above Melbourne Central railway station.
The 9 storey tower is Coop's Shot Tower - built in 1888 - and now houses a museum.

Sweet discovery
Old tower lit with new style
Worlds smile together
