Rocky Shoreline – 6 Haiku
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves smoothing out pebbles
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves cabin cruiser sets sail
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves trapped bladder wrack
today's dark grey haze burns off with afternoon sun sit on shoreline rocks
today's dark grey haze burns off with afternoon sun rest on shoreline rocks
today's heavy haze burns off with the afternoon sun tarry on shoreline

Humility & The Tao
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

Gandhi & The Customer
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises
He is not dependent on us, we are dependent on him
He is not an interruption in our work, he is the purpose of it
He is not an outsider in our business, he is part of it
We are not doing him a favour by serving him
He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so
Gandhi
P.S.
Many years ago when I was starting out, a wise man said to me ” No customers, No business “.

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

Chaos & The Tao
When rich speculators prosper
While farmers lose their land
While government officials spend money
On weapons instead of cures
When the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
While the poor have nowhere to turn –
All then is robbery and chaos
It is not keeping with the Tao
Lao Tzu chapter 53 Book of Tao
Animals … 5 Haiku
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
Meanwhile… at the beach-3 Haiku
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
