Little White Horses

 

 

I was tearing along the coastal route

The little white horses racing into shore

When this song came over the radio

And galloped into my heart.

I pulled over onto the shoulder.

I was transported.

I closed my eyes and let the music

Take me.

8.30 seconds later I was released.

It was good to hear Derek and The Dominoes again.

It was good to hear ‘Layla’

 

What songs stop you in your tracks, transport you to other places? What songs do you pull over for?

 

‘The True Colour of the Sea’: Book Review

The challenge was to write a book review in haiku form. Here is my first attempt. Do you want to try one? It will be interesting to see what people come up with.

 

‘The True Color of the Sea’

 

didn’t flow for me

its prose flat and monochrome

as a pancake sea

Harpooning a Haiku

 

the haiku lunges

out of the dark ocean of text

its flanks be-jeweled

 

by sun, the way

a whale lunges out of the water

in Oban Bay
