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

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

evening rainfall
brushes flowers from shrubs and trees
birds return to nests
purple flowers bloom
amidst thistles and brambles
Alsatian cocks leg
as I walk the lane
brown butterfly casts shadow
the sun travels west
crusty bread in beak
magpie flies to hedgerow
dining all alone
fox prowls the garden
sniffs round, slinks into hedgerow
put cheese back in fridge
P.S.
Catch the Silence, a new Haiku collection
afternoon zephyr
languorous waves trip ashore
teenagers sneak beer
lazul bay shimmers
south east wind whips round pier
rolling coffee cups
a light warming breeze
wraps around her bare shoulders
she shivers slightly
P.S.
My new Haiku collection ” Catch the Silence “ is FREE to read on Wattpad
plankton swirling round
beneath the pellucid sea
soft breeze turns the page
graffiti of love
adorning the old wooden door
afternoon amble
tide is fully out
seagulls wade through pier’s gunk
petrol and seaweed
In these continued strange times and to do my little bit by giving back. I have put my new haiku collection ” Catch the Silence ” up on wattpad, where it is free for everyone to read.

distant seagull’s shriek
catches the silent moment
traffic roars again
down the narrow path
along the rocky coast walk
Northern Bedstraw blooms
rotting boat on rocks
prayers of returning safe
long time forgotten
hands on steering wheel
staring at the breaking blue
just thoughts of respair
P.S.
respair ; is an old English word meaning … a recovery and a return to hope
an empty car park
leaves gather in sunken space
cracked iron cast grate
walkers on the road
avoiding jogger’s droplets
social distancing
after the rainfall
flowers droop from their brown pots
footprints of a cat
outside garden wall
purple tulips are blooming
wish that I could paint
