The Fly – Haiku

outside it's raining;
fly wanders around inside
car's interior

traffic lights at night
white paper cup oscillates;
waiting to go green

last days of summer
breeze chases me around garden ;
where's my torn jumper ?

weekend gardener;
wheelbarrow of wet seaweed
struggles up slipway

down at the seashore
ocean falls through my fingers ;
seaweed clings to rocks

on promenade bench
people dropping their breadcrumbs ;
grateful mistle thrush

walking the seawall
two white butterflies join me ;
leading the journey

blackbird crapping on
freshly cleaned patio wall ;
pour a glass of wine

the robin comes out
from under the big hedgerow ;
checking the weather

after the rainfall
hedgerow full of melodies;
cars splashing walkers

endless and endless
just downpour upon downpour;
cat sleeps in corner

between the grey clouds
hairline crack of blue appears;
gone in a second
