A new day a new haiku

If these three saplings

Were to grow into a band

Birch would take the lead

26th May 2020
The only place you

Can truly be truly free

Is inside your mind

25th May 2020
Anticipation

One of many enemies

Of acceptance

24th May 2020
Clambering climbers

Cling clasp cleave clave clang clung

Clenched clamps clutch closed

23rd May 2020
Discarded catkins

Flotsam in a fluffy fog

Floating fast and free

22nd May 2020
Silent crowds surround

Sandy paths twisting around

Thunder clouds resound

21st May 2020
A minnow dancing

Through the weeds and rushes past

The reeds and rushes

20th May 2020
Enjoy the process

It takes as long as it takes

There is no hurry

19th May 2020
Fears drown confidence

Tears wash away memories

Years distill to joy

18th May 2020
Evenings stretch out long

Memories of summers now gone

How long will this go on?

17th May 2020
Solitary lark

Keep our troubled hearts and minds

Shining in the dark

16th May 2020
Thwarted by my pride

A virus creeping inside

Don’t cry and don’t try

15th May 2020
Once I went outside

Bathed in warm sunlight, but now

We are stuck at home

14th May 2020
I twist and I twine

I bend and I bind myself

I clamber and climb

13th May 2020
Let go of the day

Melting, fading, drift away

Colours turn to grey

12th May 2020
As the grass grows long

So will I be forgotten

This I remember

11th May 2020
Soft flowers cascade

And break up these sharp edges

With violet cloud spray

10th May 2020
Lined up on the stave

And by fear and strife smitten

My own wrath assuage

9th May 2020
Beneath the red glow

Do we make our own choices

Or do they make us?

8th May 2020
Canvas shadows say

It’s gonna be a good day

Come whatever may

7th May 2020
We all look elder

If the mountain turned to ash

Wood yew pine fir me?

6th May 2020
Every where we go

Swaying clouds of chervil spray

Musky opaque scent

5th May 2020
Each day is the same

But the sunsets always change

Still treading water

4th May 2020
A creeping speedwell

Begins the transformation

From lawn to meadow
