A new day a new haiku

At the water’s edge

Between grey sea and gilt sky

Verges vegetate

26th May 2019
Around foggy lochs

Through misty mountain passes

We wend our way north

25th May 2019
Hazy twilight glow

Dew settles on the meadow

They never grow old

24th May 2019
Dry dust drips downward

Tyre treads track into blue grooves

Roll until its smooth

23rd May 2019
Early morning breeze

Plays lightly on the surface

Jump into the pool

22nd May 2019
In the green meadow

Wild grasses and flowers grow

Wait for us mow

21st May 2019
A fork in the tracks

Do I take the easy path

Or the way that winds?

20th May 2019
A small silver chink

Opens up rusty old minds

To a clearer view

19th May 2019
For times of good cheer

Bend hairy ears that can’t hear

To whiskey and beer

18th May 2019
From dust and ashes

Hopes and schemes and dreams arise

You can’t keep us down

17th May 2019
Stones straik steel sharper

Slow shuffle, smooth scythe snaths swing

Small spiral swaths stack

16th May 2019
Am I of the land

Or still working against it

And where is the line?

15th May 2019
My whole body aches

From my nose down to my toes

My mind is at rest

14th May 2019
Upon these brown hills

Interwoven stories knot

Entangle and merge

13th May 2019
Gentle purple clouds

The same scent our fathers smelt

Floats through the woodland

12th May 2019
Long low lines of light

Illuminate parachutes

Carried on the wind

11th May 2019
I hold myself back

Sabbotage my every act

And fall through the cracks

10th May 2019
In one thousand suns

Lift me up across the lake

This was my mistake

New album out now

9th May 2019
As light mist rises

From the freshly fallen rain

Float away downstream

8th May 2019
Down the woodland path

Down into the fairy dells

Hidden in the downs

7th May 2019
Little woodland folk

Hiding behind tiny doors

Wait for dusk to fall

6th May 2019
Fresh sprouts of chervil

A bovine delicacy

Grown in abundance

5th May 2019
From yellow flowers

Into our final hour

Scattered in the wind

4th May 2019
Into a black hole

I’ve had enough, I give up

Leave me dead inside
