Water – Haiku

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

kids make sandcastles
adults in sandals with socks
Sunday at the beach

head under the car
white paws extended in sunshine
neighbour's sleepy cat

escaped bronze greyhound
galloping through the village
looks for finishing line

amidst rustling leaves
a blackbird sings his sweet song
balmy evening

P.S

scraggy dull grey clouds
wind has blown the sun away
catch raindrops in palm

P.S.

balmy southern breeze
caressing each blade of grass
leaves come tumbling down

balmy breeze rustles
through the trees and garden hedges
blackbird's swaying shade

the brisk balmy breeze
races across the swelling sea
shadow dancing leafs

P.S.
