maybe all at once

amidst rustling leaves a blackbird sings his sweet song balmy evening

Here are some more haiku, to read, ponder and enjoy.
little fishing boats/shelter in an old harbour/the halyard’s pinging
middle of bare tree/magpie settles ruffles wings/craps on the windscreen
the car number plate/reflects in rippling puddle/sunlight in the rain
bare tree brutal wind/hooded crow extracting twigs/construction begins
sweeping sweeping rain/driven in from Atlantic/students cycling home
early morning fog/dampness clings to everything/one daffodil blooms
cradle cap of mist/creates a fluorescent dome/neo-noir landscape
