Lowell Observatory

Myself and son James at Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, June or July 1966. This image is mentioned in my memoir 'Astronomy as Poetry' which appears in Griffith Review No. 73 published by Griffith Unversity in Brisbane.

More haiku

Woke up feeling grim. 

When Port Talbot came to mind

 I felt better. Why?

 

Wishing there were more

trees, I should be satisfied

with the one I see.

 

The measuring tape

on the box with the green lid

sits exactly right.

 

Doing the washing-up

scraping plates and wondering:

food is sticky. Why? 

 

The garden she made!

Only the fine rain is not

part of her design.
