Xmas Day – Haiku

Every year on Christmas day, if its not raining from the heavens I go for a two mile walk round the back roads, down to the beach and old pier and back again. These haiku are from five days ago.

christmas day morning
hardy swimmer flees cold sea;
an old tradition
christmas day morning
rooks enjoying the seaweed;
just another day
christmas day morning
meet others out for a stroll;
only recognise one

Twilight – 3 Haiku

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

hedgerows in silence

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

hedgerows are silent

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

three islands in view

Solstice Weekend – 5 Haiku

This solstice weekend has seen a myriad of weather fronts. From glorious sunshine to the four winds howling and galloping breakers, followed by relentless rain sweeping in from the Atlantic and back again to sunshine. Here are five haiku it inspired.

blustery morning

the four winds howl around house

hear the eaves crack, squeak

the four winds howl, howl

kicking up swirling sandstorm

three heavy raindrops

on summer solstice

sweeping rain falls with vengeance

Dylan’s rowdy ways

wild west wind charging

quick heavy downpour ensues

galloping breakers

the mighty sea roars

unleashing angry breakers

pounding pier wall
