February ’14 Haikus.
By C. J. Black.
Glistening in sunlight
Passing mansions on a hill
Bankers’ paradise.
Weather beaten face
Cursing the winter weather
Seeking sheltered spot.
In the church of God
Our petitions wing their way
Silently give praise.
Feel the winter chill
Mercury is dropping fast
The larder is bare.
Watch the child at play
Beware of your surroundings
Showing little fear.
On the trail of haikus
A most relaxing past time
Ideas abound.
Attach the dogs lead
Early constitutional
Good hangover cure.
Had my coffee fix
Time for early morning swim
Feeling full of beans.
Heard from far off hills
The sound of music playing
Amber nectar flows.
Compose a haiku
Not the easiest of tasks
One day I’ll succeed.

The published and unpublished manuscripts of Chris Black. A writer from Wexford, Chris has been writing and publishing poetry for the past twenty+ years. September 2016 saw his dream come to fruition with the publication of his first book Same Train, Different Track a book of Poetry and Short Stories.
Preferred reading - Autobiographies, the history of the native American Indian, plays golf badly according to those he plays with/against. Continues to try and write each day/night by giving the sawdust a shake and seeing what falls out - an eclectic taste in music, spent 16 happy years as a radio presenter in a part time capacity while "slaving" away at the coal face now enjoying all that retirement has to offer and more. Twitters badly @CJBlack2012, on Soundcloud @ C. J. Black & chris black 36, youtube @Chris Black-poetry-spoken word. You can find his "work" at http://www.chrisblack2012.com - very original? When he comes up with a fresher idea you will be the first to know. If you do happen to drop by either site do let him know your thoughts, who you are and where you come from - He will in time also pay you a return visit. Thank you.

Why thank you Baldy great to hear from you, hope you and yours are keeping well – continue to enjoy your posts, I have a lot of catching up to do as I have been pre-occupied over the past number of months – the writing also slowed down quite considerably which probably was not a bad thing as I was losing the run of myself consequently imposing myself on the residents of Blogsville.
Chris.

Dear sir, always good to hear from you, likewise, my imput has been somewhat lacking due to pressing matters in life etc. I find it difficult to keep up with everyone and am always discovering new talents that are a joy to read and interact with. You know I admire your writing and particular style. Keep smiling and keep writing, sincere best wishes from baldy:)
