    Re: Today's poet

    Meeting at Night

    I.
    The grey sea and the long black land;
    And the yellow half-moon large and low;
    And the startled little waves that leap
    In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
    As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
    And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

    II.
    Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
    Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
    A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
    And blue spurt of a lighted match,
    And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,
    Than the two hearts beating each to each!

    Robert Browning

    Just because I love the sea and I like the idea of the journey home to the person you love.

    Three haiku inspired by today's lunch

    restaurant on stilts
    captive fish gulp in glass tanks
    green tea piping hot

    soy pickled cabbage
    peanuts eaten with chopsticks
    emerald veg arrive

    home cooked food best yet
    matchstick shreds of fresh ginger
    sauce stains silk necktie
    Poacher turned game-keeper

    forgetting me,remember me
    ah, bless your cotton socks!
