A new day a new haiku

Among the hedgerows

The mice make hurried plans for

A splendid snow ball

28th January 2021
Everything’s peachy

In the early morning light

I freeze this moment

27th January 2021
It’s not what you have

Where you’re from or how you’re made

It’s who you become

26th January 2021
When I’m in this ground

Frozen bones turning to stone

You will still be here

25th January 2021
There is no progress

There is only compromise

Is this the right one?

24th January 2021
Oh what adventures

There are to be had within

Five miles of your home

23rd January 2021
Still the morning air

Reminds me that this water

Runs not to the sea

22nd January 2021
Am I too entwined

To simply just float away

Or just a coward?

21st January 2021
To hope is to lose

To lose hope is to lose self

Lose yourself to hope

20th January 2021
As one journey ends

An empty broken sea shell

Is all that remains

19th January 2021
What will the day bring

Hope, joy, pain, promise, regret?

Yet these too shall pass

18th January 2021
I hold myself back

As my own worst enemy

Only I can change

17th January 2021
Ever changing but

Never different. This blue haze

Clouding my vision

16th January 2021
Birds sing wild and free

Every one has its own song

How can I learn mine?

15th January 2021
Smooth shiny wet bark

Contrasts with overcast skies

A broken barcode

14th January 2021
This perpetual rain

Fades away drab landscapes draped

In January grey

13th January 2021
A dividing line

Between this real world that is

And that other one

12th January 2021
Pallid ghost berries

Haunt this abandoned garden

Her dreams fade away

11th January 2021
And nevertheless

All this meaningless nonsense

Will go up in flames

10th January 2021
Would you please just stop

Building new roads and railways

That nobody needs

9th January 2021
Cling to this moment

Before it all falls apart

Melt my frozen heart

8th January 2021
In gloomy shadows

That the light never reaches

That’s where Jack frost hides

7th January 2021
Open up my eyes

Disconnect me from these lies

Make my spirit fly

6th January 2021
Following the line

To where twisted brambles climb

Running out of time
