'Mary' Haiku

Was not the faith of

Mary one of the greatest 

In a world of men?

Pictures

My mind is a maze of magic sparks,

Circuits conjuring 

Candyfloss clouds or

Calamity storms

In a heartbeat - 

The fastest painter I know

Filling in both cracks and rainbows

To make pictures 

Then presenting them to me

As Masterpieces

But both wear fanciful frames 

That I cannot always see.

Open Ground

The sun drew me out

Crawling, curious 

Onto Open Ground

Where I knelt by buttercups

To the sounds of sparrows 

I breathed in light

Safe in my circle of trees

Amazed to just be outside.
