Aqua Marine Poet Haiku

Downtime and Dust Trio

timeout

polished sandstone grains
fine trickle through time's measure
in downturned hourglass


            made out of dust

man grinds man to dust
harsh words make quicksand for him
dust speaks up for dust


           Elah unveiled

in Elah's vale
a stone's throw from enigma
gigantic hate falls

My Dad used to be in Property i remember going with him to the Auction when they were selling the Plots on Ruimsig and when it was then the end of world. Now there is a Casino , Mall and Complexes as far as the Cradle of Humankind

Christopher Flaherty November 17, 2019 at 4:02 PM Good seems to back onto Bad. I see you are from S.A Aqua. I am a Soutpiel half and half from S.A Florida Joburg and half English from Liverpool. Aqua Marine November 17, 2019 at 4:14 PM See comment above...lol.
