hot crusted bread speaking truths
labouring backs bent over ovens
cows chewing cherrywood cuds cosy
what could be more knowing
as Nature spreads tranquility tacit ?

haiku form
The instructor, she/he, at head of class
scans the classroom and sees all the students.
They inhabit the room like Inert gas,
atoms of reason float in abundance.
Who will learn and who will remain inert?
The instructor may not ask of such things.
It is enough to keep a group alert,
to teach them rather than keep them guessing.
Many moments are spent in discussion,
helping fresh minds understand the subject.
The instructor must avoid confusion.
Answers are tested to see if correct.
Future students may let their knowledge fade.
Others will find work and careers will be made.
Light abiding by
the laws of physics
journeys through space
into the eye of a being.
The eye squints before
the dazing tourist
as two opaque intruders
exist between them.
The being was amazed by
the light's change in tint:
what is near is blood,
what is far is sky.
