A new day a new haiku

I long to paddle

All along this long river

To the Pacific

6th February 2020
High rise and inside

Behind misty mountains hide

I go there in mind

5th February 2020
Inside concrete shells

Days and nights begin to blur

Slowly float away

4th February 2020
Endless mountains stretch

A still silent wilderness

Melting in twilight

3rd February 2020
The catkins unfurl

Like sheep’s tails swing in the breeze

And birds will come back

2nd February 2020
High up on a shelf

Folded up into a box

Faded by the light

1st February 2020
Irises open

Spicy saffron stamens spring

Where did you come from?

31st January 2020
Buried by branches

Blinded by brighter birch bones

Between broken briar

30th January 2020
As the first signs spring

They break the cold winter earth

Dreams break hearts in two

29th January 2020
Dawn divides darkness

Am I the lies underneath

Or the breaking sky?

28th January 2020
Once I was alive

Now we live in photographs

Vicariously

27th January 2020
Another day dawns

Lift me with your golden gaze

Help me to forget

26th January 2020
One day will be last

All the things I didn’t do

Will become regrets

25th January 2020
In a sea of red

My blood has been shed, slowly

I return to dust

24th January 2020
When you’re trapped in woods

Can’t see the trees for the leaves

Give up, fall asleep

23rd January 2020
Which way to follow?

Yet if I knew where I was

I would still be lost

22nd January 2020
Grumble gripe growl grouse

Gloomy grim glum ghoulish grudge

Grouchy grumpy guts

21st January 2020
Drain all my regrets

Into this icy water

Will I drown or freeze?

20th January 2020
Grey mist rising as

Grey sun shimmers silver ice

Cloud my foggy mind

19th January 2020
Sunrise overflows

Spilling into life and hope

Never will I tire

18th January 2020
Ideas seem so right

When I make them something real

They just disappoint

17th January 2020
Soft cats’ tails shiver

Slowly shed a thousand seeds

Into the wind’s whim

16th January 2020
Deep below the groundThe sap is starting to riseThere is always hope

15th January 2020
You were here before

My parents were born; you will

Outlive my children
