Connor Abbey Poem
Empathy
a drop of water
hangs on the end
of this bamboo spout - I sniff
Alone
how fragile the evening -
this huge silence
about to burst
Discarded Haiku
flakes of paper ash -
yesterday a sleeping
butterfly

frost glazed lawn -
first winter
without paw prints

Memories
cracked teacup -
still too full
to throw away
Sounds
insomnia -
all these sounds
I'd miss if I was asleep
Sudden Revelation
distant lightning -
the silhouettes
of so many dead trees.
Rain
no longer with us
yet the rain still fills
her water bowl

Connor Abbey Poem
Here I am
looking
at my own reflection
in the stillness
of the river.
How alone I feel.
Then, the profound -
I am the river,
reflecting itself
in me.

small graves -
more horror packed
per acre on holy land

warm fire -
the click of my grandmother's
knitting needles sending me
to sleep.

Connor Abbey Poem
I know you have
been waiting to show me
the glittering glaze of sunlight
caught in your stillness,
the reflected trees on the far bank
mirrored perfectly and something
surfacing from out of the depths
sending ripples across the morning
to gently lap against
my waking mind.
And I don't even know
your name.

loud screams
inaudible to the human ear
I wonder if to God.

Inspiration
late again -
even after I have readied
this white page
today
even a clumsy moth
is too quick for my pen.
hope -
beyond this silence
a haiku is practicing its scales

full of aches
I'm not myself today
but nobody else fits
