A new day a new haiku
Sunny showers smite
The undulating landscape
Warm wind whips wild hair
Chestnut sunlight falls
Sidelong through the last green grass
Blonde summer heights gone
Where we abandon
Brambly tendrils will encroach
Restless pioneers
Shadows of our lives
In our children’s children eyes
Reflections surprise
I am still hunting
For the end of the rainbow
Can’t find it up here
Tramp in damp trainers
Through the dew drenched wilderness
Dawn expeditions
Under the briar
Creeping through dusky half light
Last year’s leaves rustle
From the misty fells
To the fairy dells
Hiding among the bluebells
The shadow below
Is just a dim reflection
Of the light above
Pack the tent away
Find the toys for rainy days
Summer is over
Branches reaching out
Into a tunnel of light
Seeing without eyes
On the horizon
Lie visions of mountain peaks
And wild fire smoke
You can break a horse
And mow a meadow, but you
Can’t tame this wild heart
I long to get out
I hate to miss the sunset
I would rather walk
On new horizons
Searching for a different view
With the same blue eyes
Lined up in a row
The long awaited day came
Be brave and be kind
Time repeats herself
An everlasting spiral
We still stay the same
Deer leap through the fog
And cower in the thicket
Yet captured by words
Crisp dry dock leaf seeds
Premonitions of the frost
That soon will bite us
Silk spins silently
While we’re weaving wily webs
To trap tomorrow
Wineberry wagtail
Count the sheep into the pen
Terrydiddle den
Pierced by fierce dark eyes
An ambush, a surprise
Nowhere left to hide
Early morning sun
Rises from behind the trees
The storm is over
Stripy dumbledores
Buzzing bee merry and bright
Chin up now sunshine
