A new day a new haiku
Birch and Rowan start
Their slow steady invasion
Kill views and bring life
The sky opens up
As we head yet further North
Welcome to Scotland
Blushing parasols
Exploding in the hedgerow
Each a universe
Send out my warm rays
Stretching long across the fields
Catch me when I fall
Don’t be shy, blossom
Let your natural colours show
Every day we bloom
Following the sun
To find out where he came from
And all that he’s done
Climbing every style
I’m combing every corner
Roaming every mile
Ever growing up
Reaching, bending, changing tack
Never reach the top
Bound across the field
A hound unleashed and frenzied
Sound and safe and free
Let’s turn a corner
Let me loose, let me run free
Let’s burn a path
Small lives shoot upwards
Offshoots flourish in long days
Each a unique blade
What magic uncurls
From such slight wiry tendrils
Summer holds her breath
Let go of today
And welcome in tomorrow
Yesterday has gone
Sticky cleavers climb
Bluebells chime, hailing spring time
Fragment mint and thyme
Warm son, lift me up
I bask in the golden glow
Shining from your smile
Flash floods flush fish flesh
From deep beneath the sewers
Defile the highway
We climbed up the hill
To catch the last on the sun
We’ll stay forever
Rolling strolling clouds
Ever changing never gone
Ideas never die
Come and sit awhile
You breathe in what I breathe out
Beneath the oak tree
Blossom in the rain
Shine out of the darkness and
Make me live again
The May has been out
I have cast my winter clout
Yet no fear of drought
Cobblestone walkways
Worn smooth by thousands of feet
Am I following?
When the darkness falls
Should we float off gently or
Go out with a bang
Traverse the canyon
Travail brings it’s own reward
Travel mountain peaks
