A new day a new haiku

Broken to pieces

Or cracked, misshapen and dead

Which one will you love?

7th September 2022
Old stones fringed with moss

Summer singed at the edges

Sunlight tinged with loss

6th September 2022
Forever we’ll roam

On these loamy rolling hills

We never leave home

5th September 2022
Get thoroughly lost

That’s the first step in any

Proper adventure

4th September 2022
Echoing calls fade

Absorbed by billowing grass

Were we really here?

3rd September 2022
Give me one more time

To stand in the sun and shine

Wait for the bell’s chime

2nd September 2022
Sometimes accidents

Greatly outshine intentions

So go with the flow

1st September 2022
Pick our careful way

On the dragon’s thorny back

Lest his slumber wakes

31st August 2022
Out of ash and smoke

Melting molten mixture melds

Into slabs of gold

30th August 2022
Are you still watching

With childish fascination

As the sun descends?

29th August 2022
We left all our years

A gleaming reflection of

The years we have left

28th August 2022
What else is hiding

Beneath the murky waters?

Do I dare go in?

27th August 2022
Forbidden waters

The strongest current that will

Draw me deeper in

26th August 2022
How long until these

Imposing monstrosities

Are national treasures?

25th August 2022
Left alone up here

Battered by wind and rain

Tumble down again

24th August 2022
Tree lined avenues

Would you start something that you

Will not see complete?

23rd August 2022
Still still sea waters

Stretching out from shore to shore

In silent reaches

22nd August 2022
These beaming beech leaves

Translate the wind’s silent voice

Into prying cries

21st August 2022
Smoky clouds rising

From the glowing forest line

A fire light mirage

20th August 2022
Mineral veins flow

In the heart of the mountain

Metallic life blood

19th August 2022
What lurks in these depths?

Who dares to cross this shadow?

How can we escape?

18th August 2022
A shaft of sunlight

A mountain turned inside out

A thought, a challenge

17th August 2022
The castle still stands

How many suns have settled

Behind it’s towers?

16th August 2022
In this burning heat

Slip into the glassy sea

And wash my mind clear

15th August 2022
