in her presence
words stumble
down the stairs
of my tongue
like elephants

nothing is lost
in translation
as poems
spill out
from moonlit eyes

Haiku News

One of my poems is on Haiku News today. You can view it by clicking on the link above.

This site is well worth bookmarking, lots of brilliant poems by some of the best short-form writers in the world today. It reflects very well on the editors Dick Whyte & Laurence Stacey (Great work guys!)

I watch him skip
ahead of me
on the path
the little boy
I used to be

a jester
all these years
I've worn
so many smiles
I could not own

in my mind
her words rise
like fish
sending ripples
through another day

A Short Break!

Holiday time! I am taking a short break from blogging. Thank you for your support here at Paper Moon. Back soon!

I seek not
to understand poetry...
but to spin breathless
through its air
inside-out, upside-down

I walked through this day
a ghost
to those around me
there
not there

Followers!

I have noticed that the number of people following me here at Paper Moon has increased quite dramatically of late. So a BIG WELCOME to you all! I hope something of what you find here will move, challenge, comfort and inspire you.

Paul

sunflowers
colour the breeze
at the meadow's edge
as we walk
into our dream
