A new day a new haiku

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

6th February 2021
Do I step forward

Into the darkest abyss?

Teeter on the brink

5th February 2021
When the future is

Uncharted, hazy and dark

I turn to the past

4th February 2021
We fall for winter

And spring to life in summer

Yet ever present

3rd February 2021
It may suggest that

Nature will win in the end

But this tree was dead

2nd February 2021
Is it better to

Hope and be disappointed

Or doubt and be wrong

1st February 2021
Through wind, rain and snow

In the frozen wilderness

How does life survive?

31st January 2021
There’s no better way

Than to hide away and play

On a rainy day

30th January 2021
From snow fall rises

New life, hardy and fearless

Could I be so brave?
