A new day a new haiku

Strike a single match

Set it gently on a branch

Watch the paper catch

18th December 2018
Blood ran through my veins

Now I’m frozen through again

Leave me in the dark

17th December 2018
Can we make a choice?

Whichever fork we go down

There is but one road

16th December 2018
Between furrowed clouds

In the long forgotton dust

A still silent rest

15th December 2018
As a river flows

Along the longest of roads

Ever on we go

14th December 2018
Underneath layers

Unspoken expectations

Untamed and broken

13th December 2018
Squeeze through barbed wire

And between tangled branches

Anywhere but home

12th December 2018
As the years roll on

Shadows of lost memories

Return to the soil

11th December 2018
Red barked willow wands

Secret whispers in the breeze

Whipped up by wild winds

10th December 2018
Scrambling over

Old walls and gates and fences

Tumble and crumble

9th December 2018
Seeds puffed up into

Fluffy white kindling clouds

Like an old man’s beard

8th December 2018
This very same field

Has been keeping us alive

For hundreds of years

7th December 2018
What lies inbetween

The colours of the rainbow?

The stuff of daydreams

6th December 2018
Reach up to the clouds

In a dreamy reverie

Let’s float away now

5th December 2018
Left here in the leaves

We await the break of dawn

Just a wild goose chase

4th December 2018
Frost bitten grasses

Steaming in the winter sun

I too wait my turn

3rd December 2018
From this lofty view

Rain makes its way to the sea

I follow slowly

2nd December 2018
Summer seeds scattered

From their coarse cracked empty shells

Will they germinate?

1st December 2018
Corroded Oak leaves

Rustle in the autumn breeze

Rusted to their trees

30th November 2018
Roots run wild below

While vaulted bramble arches

Fan feral above

29th November 2018
Across frosty fields

Untold stories will unfold

Turning a new leaf

28th November 2018
Every choice divides

Our lives into new branches

A terminal bud

27th November 2018
We’ll ramble and roam

Tumble down and over grown

We’ll never go home

26th November 2018
Dark heather stretches

Bleak across the prickly heath

Coal seams lay beneath
