Flowers & Isolation-4 Haiku



an empty car park

leaves gather in sunken space

cracked iron cast grate

walkers on the road

avoiding jogger’s droplets

social distancing

after the rainfall

flowers droop from their brown pots

footprints of a cat

outside garden wall

purple tulips are blooming

wish that I could paint

Lest They Forget . . . Haibun

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

RAIN . . . 6 HAIKU

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

Robin in the Mist – 2 Haiku

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.

  1. wind whips across bay / robin shelters in hedgerow / window to nature

2. the sweeping mizzle / robin shelters in hedgerow / watch his sereneness
