9 Summer Haiku

Here are nine haiku, written over the past seven weeks. Hope you enjoy them.

  1. couple in kayak/ dogs racing along the beach/ turquoise sea idle’s

2. midday sun blazes down/ pleading heartfelt seagull’s cry/ having ploughman’s lunch

3. the low tide saunters/ waves roll in a hundred fold/ numbers on water

4. emerald pastures/ view across the bay today/ silver spider’s web

5. white noise of traffic/ zooming by the bay window/ rose bush keeps blooming

6. a magpie returns/ tidying the hidden nest/ distant seagulls shriek

7. an empty red bin/ two forlorn pink flip flops wait/colony of gulls

8. along the seashore/ a trail of darkened seaweed/ forgotten flip flops

9. colony of gulls/ feasting on rotten seaweed/ swatting the sandflies

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed them.

5 HAIKU

Over the past weekend, I just finished the first draft of my second collection of haiku poems. Which roughly covers July 18 through to December 18. In the meantime thought I would share some ongoing haiku from 2019.

  1. the Angelus bell/unfurls across the gorse fields/a magpie listens

2. mild humid spring day/wind choreographs fauna/cut grass aroma

3. incoming high tide/ripples around the pier’s curve/flash of conger eel

4. another year flown/walk the same laneways again/Maythorn blossoming

5. iron graveyard gate/flecks of rust peeling away/narrow road to sea

I hope you enjoyed these five haiku.
