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
