A new day a new haiku

I reach for the sun

But I always fall far short

Should I keep trying?

18th April 2020
Still in ignorance

We tear the soil apart

In scars that won’t heal

17th April 2020
Hidden in treetops

There’s another world to find

If you just look up

16th April 2020
I made these sharp stubs

From seasoned sycamore sticks

Harvested last year

15th April 2020
I stop to wonder

How does time fly by so fast?

Then we’re off again!

14th April 2020
Early morning walks

Remind us that in the end

Everything changes

13th April 2020
Fractal ferns unfurl

From forgotten forest floors

For far-off futures

12th April 2020
Stitchwort, the bone star

A remedy for side stitch

And meat for adders

11th April 2020
Come unto me bees

Pollinate thou my blossom

From whence fruit cometh

10th April 2020
Now your makeup’s blurred

And there’s glitter in your hair

Now the moon has gone

I made a new song

9th April 2020
Slow everything down

For time passes too quickly

To but take a breath

8th April 2020
Dining alfresco

With our last food from Tesco

Pasta and pesto

7th April 2020
Once I went outside

Walked and ran in broad daylight

Once I was alive

6th April 2020
Like peas in a pod

Ready to ascend new heights

With twisted tendrils

5th April 2020
Green bramble stems shoot

As the evening comes alive

Bathed in warm sunlight

4th April 2020
The sunset pulled us

Out of our shell and back to

This mystical dell

3rd April 2020
Forlorn flax, faded

After a long hard winter

And still standing tall

2nd April 2020
Am I shut up in

A prison without bars, or

Do they keep you out?

1st April 2020
Once a valued crop

Overstood and overlooked

Coppice me again

31st March 2020
Clouds cast a shadow

Over who I thought I was

I try to see good

30th March 2020
The strange shades of spring

Days change and suddenly swing

A dangerous string

29th March 2020
White spray on black thorn

Poison spiked cotton wool brain

Just another cold

28th March 2020
They might be common

They might only last a week

Do we love them less?

27th March 2020
When this storm has passed

A new light will break through and

Fill our leaves with hope
