A new day a new haiku

Stinging eyes of blue

Carried on rising black plumes

An internal bruise

20th August 2018
A silent sentry

Eyes scan the brambly hedge

Take cover small mice

19th August 2018
Prickly teasels

Clinging to our ankles like

Stickly limpets

18th August 2018
A lofty green tree

Growing wild and running free

A quick fickle stream

17th August 2018
Bleary eyes smeared with

Mascara line tears, black swan

Another year gone

16th August 2018
A few ragged fields

All that remains of the past

There’s no going back

15th August 2018
The wise owl awakes

Silently she leaves her roost

Another day fades

14th August 2018
Gloomy moody mist

Bearing down in soft ash clouds

As away we drift

13th August 2018
From this chalky peak

The weald is still tucked up tight

A misty blanket

12th August 2018
Balance on bridges

Above the marshy swamp

What fear lurks beneath?

11th August 2018
This simple small home

Keeps us warm, dry and peaceful

This home is our home

10th August 2018
Up on gallows hill

Misty barrows stand here still

Arrows will still kill

9th August 2018
Islands in the sky

Reflecting another world

Dark waters run deep

8th August 2018
All those years gone by

Hidden in layers of silt

Bury me again

7th August 2018
Sand flats at low tide

Murky mucky mushy mud

Teams with sneaky crabs

6th August 2018
The same orange sun

Has set these same clouds on fire

Ageless cave paintings

5th August 2018
On the dry hard earth

We stretch out our home again

A fresh new canvas

4th August 2018
Between blue and black

Airplane lights shine and divide

My heart from my soul

3rd August 2018
An apple carpet

Decays away into a

Giant wasp haven

2nd August 2018
Before these grey stones

Became ancient castle walls

The same flowers grew

1st August 2018
This quiet river

Meandering through the town

For thousands of years

31st July 2018
And I’m still falling

A shadow on the hillside

Another rain cloud

30th July 2018
Cease to be myself

Reluctantly I resign

To be someone else

29th July 2018
Drip drip drop down dale

Rain drifts in a sideways gale

Hide in a hay bale

28th July 2018
