A new day a new haiku

Once I was alive

Now we live in photographs

Vicariously

27th January 2020
Another day dawns

Lift me with your golden gaze

Help me to forget

26th January 2020
One day will be last

All the things I didn’t do

Will become regrets

25th January 2020
In a sea of red

My blood has been shed, slowly

I return to dust

24th January 2020
When you’re trapped in woods

Can’t see the trees for the leaves

Give up, fall asleep

23rd January 2020
Which way to follow?

Yet if I knew where I was

I would still be lost

22nd January 2020
Grumble gripe growl grouse

Gloomy grim glum ghoulish grudge

Grouchy grumpy guts

21st January 2020
Drain all my regrets

Into this icy water

Will I drown or freeze?

20th January 2020
Grey mist rising as

Grey sun shimmers silver ice

Cloud my foggy mind

19th January 2020
Sunrise overflows

Spilling into life and hope

Never will I tire

18th January 2020
Ideas seem so right

When I make them something real

They just disappoint

17th January 2020
Soft cats’ tails shiver

Slowly shed a thousand seeds

Into the wind’s whim

16th January 2020
Deep below the groundThe sap is starting to riseThere is always hope

15th January 2020
You were here before

My parents were born; you will

Outlive my children

14th January 2020
Hawthorn pens me in

Reaching for a brighter day

I fall back again

13th January 2020
If you think that it’s

Just around the next corner

You’ll walk forever

12th January 2020
Even reflected

The sunset burns with beauty

Exceeding our own

11th January 2020
Penumbral Oak trees

Darken degraded footpaths

Tie me up in knots

10th January 2020
Turn to face the sun

Brisk evening light glows stronger

Longer shadows grow

9th January 2020
What’s left to explore?

The inner faults of my mind

Heading ever West

8th January 2020
Under the shadow

Of ineffable beauty

What can I offer?

7th January 2020
Failure, the father

Of success. Yet how often

Failure is childless

6th January 2020
The sun’s daily death

A reminder of our own

Yet full of beauty

5th January 2020
Betwixt sky and earth

The glory of last year fades

Next year’s start to grow
