Last Wednesday I had a meeting at a large company. Pulling in, it was difficult to find a parking space. After a couple of laps, one appeared. Preparing to get out, I noticed a monument opposite, with people sitting on a bench. When the meeting was over, went and had a look at the monument.
withered hedgerow frames
the remembrance monument
memories engraved
beside monument
naming passed over workers
people eat their lunch
weather man says rain / weather app predicts more rain / settle in by fire
weather man says rain / weather app predicts more rain / voice begs it to end
weather man says rain / miserable dark days and nights / embers of hope glow
the rain keeps pounding / hopping off the car’s bonnet / smoke a cig and watch
constant dig repair / camber of roads banjaxed / spot flooding with rain
relentless rain pounds / the wild wild Atlantic way / lives up to it’s name
the rain falls slowly
traffic moving at snail’s pace
roadworks and rainbows
city’s eastern edge
awash with sunshine rainfall
it’s spring’s first rainbow
before the storm hits
yellow daffodil hearts bloom
drive to funeral
the drab grey mizzle
descends upon unseen bay
two crows chatter on
a thick pea-souper
can’t see pathway to shoreline
carry in firewood
hidden midday sun
attempts to burn morning mist
tranquil bay asleep
Thank you for reading.
P.S. I would like to wish you peace and happiness over the coming holiday season.
Yesterday, the mist and drizzle was sweeping in off the Atlantic. Just after switching on the coffee percolator, I glanced out the kitchen window. There in a tiny hole in the hedge was a robin sheltering from the nasty weather. From my mind came these two haiku.
2. the sweeping mizzle / robin shelters in hedgerow / watch his sereneness

Today was warmish for November, so I took a walk along the promenade. Here are some of the things that caught my eye, in haiku form.
Thank you for reading hope you enjoyed them.
