A new day a new haiku

Golden morning glow

Pure and untarnished promise

Flawed expectation

6th September 2019
If an ugly toad

Shows himself to the whole world

His beauty will grow

5th September 2019
If an old grey toad

Hides beneath a mossy rock

Is it beautiful?

4th September 2019
If a warty toad

Hides underneath a damp rock

Is it less ugly?

3rd September 2019
Rose red and grass green

I can’t count my mistakes

I can make fewer

2nd September 2019
Thus the summer dies

Full of promise and surprise

Remember me well

1st September 2019
The garden will grow

Let it become a jungle

Old walls tumble down

31st August 2019
In your black pupils

In the shadow of apples

In my own mind’s eye

30th August 2019
Could I live up here

On this faded windswept moor?

A solitary rock

29th August 2019
Summer is over

The time for harvest is here

Let the work begin

28th August 2019
If wild flowers

Are sown from a pack of seeds

Are they really wild?

27th August 2019
In a horse drawn cart

We move on, ever westward

A journey of peace

26th August 2019
To live a wild life

We must provide our own needs

And consume much less

25th August 2019
To simplify

To remove the cruft

To simply be

24th August 2019
Thistle faries float

Wherever the wind takes them

I wish to be wild

23rd August 2019
On this tumulus

Where bones crumble into dust

We reach our fathers

22nd August 2019
Harmless looking leaves

Delicate, fresh and charming

Hide a painful sting

21st August 2019
From paths forged by feet

On long forgotten journeys

Narrow winding lanes

20th August 2019
Green fields of England

My natural habitat

Alien to some

19th August 2019
Put away those toys

And come into the garden

The best place to play

18th August 2019
Though sometimes he’s lost

Shrouded in nimbostratus

The sun always sets

17th August 2019
How soon we forget

That these swathes of swaying grass

Were once the wild wood

16th August 2019
Rubicund folioe

Dandling blithely atop

Golden garnerings

15th August 2019
Peeping through the gate

Into a world now long lost

Yet the same colours

14th August 2019
