A new day a new haiku

Rain clouds rolling in

I sink back into my hood

But the waves still roar

21st February 2023
Seething frothing waves

Tumbling over themselves

Crashing into me

20th February 2023
Scramble up mountains

Clamber over fallen trees

Stretch your stubborn mind

19th February 2023
Up in the hill fort

Run so fast we can’t be caught

The lines became taut

18th February 2023
In the dark shadow

Of the looming mountain side

Find a place to hide

17th February 2023
As I hide inside

A fallen tree, I wonder

What it means to be

16th February 2023
Moss creeps slow yet sure

Engulfing shaded shadows

With scraggy green beard

15th February 2023
Take a long hard walk

Mix with friends in gold sunlight

You have a memory

14th February 2023
Carve through the valley

Moving through a clear blue haze

Dodging long red rays

13th February 2023
Eke out an ending

From the last of the long light

Birch bark burning bright

12th February 2023
New grass, green and bright

Growing in the afternoon

Clear and clean and light

11th February 2023
The days are too short

Though I can’t do everything

I’m still going to try

10th February 2023
In the failing light

Underneath scattered photons

Life is being lived

9th February 2023
Sunlight comes and goes

Through small gaps and chinks it flows

Driving out darkness

8th February 2023
My molten heart flows

Fills gaps and finds it’s level

Begin to belong

7th February 2023
How do the snowdrops

Know that the days are longer

And spring is coming?

6th February 2023
Time works his mystery

Slowly changing everything

Into another

5th February 2023
Rising in the east

A new day creeps from darkness

And violets the sky

4th February 2023
I weave webs slowly

To catch magic every day

It slips through the holes

3rd February 2023
Cramped catkins uncurl

Signalling spring’s subtle shift

Running to stand still

2nd February 2023
Pastel pink ripples

Amid teal and crested Grebe

I let my mind glide

1st February 2023
New oxygen floods

Into my lungs and blue blood

Lift me from the swamp

31st January 2023
Let me breathe again

Deeply in the mangrove swamps

Rich and solid air

30th January 2023
You can take the bridge

Or you can get left behind

No road is easy
