A new day a new haiku

To be a mirror

Or just a dim reflection

Would be so easy

1st March 2021
My tired eyes squint

Grey moths dance in my stomach

Evening chills my face

28th February 2021
With time and pressure

You can move a whole mountain

If you don’t give up

27th February 2021
Branching boughs above

Break the sky into a maze

Living labyrinth

26th February 2021
Yet a dead flower

Can leave a trace of beauty

So what will we leave?

25th February 2021
Each flower has its day

Every day comes to an end

We will rise again

24th February 2021
The first signs of spring

Recall from memories depths

All that winter stole

23rd February 2021
Savour these moments

Pass them on, they will survive

Sap rising again

22nd February 2021
And as last year leaves

Decay to layers of loam

What do we pass on?

21st February 2021
As each year passes

Another layer of leaves

Will bury the last

20th February 2021
You give me reasons

To keep paddling upstream

Like my fathers did

19th February 2021
We cut down forests

Or tangle them up in wire

We call it progress

18th February 2021
With each step I sink

Deeper in the murky mire

Lost in a swamp blog

17th February 2021
With each step I slide

Every weed I pull divides

Running to stand still

16th February 2021
In the morning chill

Fragile flags shiver and shake

Each year they return

15th February 2021
Questions surround me

Piling in from every side

And I still don’t know

14th February 2021
You have to move fast

If you don’t want to fall through

Skimming the surface

13th February 2021
February gripping

Tightly to my frozen toes

I can’t shake it off

12th February 2021
Soft snowy imprints

Lead me to the sycamore

Secret squirrel nest

11th February 2021
Meltwater rising

Grey gull frozen to the buoy

Glaring, piercing stare

10th February 2021
Swinging opinions

Left hanging in the balance

I think I’ll stay here

9th February 2021
Between brume brambles

Before buds begin blooming

Breathing bleak beauty

8th February 2021
Flawed comparisons

Be the best you you can be

Summer is coming

7th February 2021
As the old mines collapsed

The canals that served them sunk

In grim irony
