Balmy – Haiku

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

sitting on the rocks
soft splash of incoming waves
smoothing out pebbles
sitting on the rocks
soft splash of incoming waves
cabin cruiser sets sail
sitting on the rocks
soft splash of incoming waves
trapped bladder wrack
today's dark grey haze
burns off with afternoon sun
sit on shoreline rocks
today's dark grey haze
burns off with afternoon sun
rest on shoreline rocks
today's heavy haze
burns off with the afternoon sun
tarry on shoreline

Twilight – 3 Haiku

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

hedgerows in silence

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

hedgerows are silent

it’s almost nightfall

twilight just slipping away

three islands in view

Solstice Weekend – 5 Haiku

This solstice weekend has seen a myriad of weather fronts. From glorious sunshine to the four winds howling and galloping breakers, followed by relentless rain sweeping in from the Atlantic and back again to sunshine. Here are five haiku it inspired.

blustery morning

the four winds howl around house

hear the eaves crack, squeak

the four winds howl, howl

kicking up swirling sandstorm

three heavy raindrops

on summer solstice

sweeping rain falls with vengeance

Dylan’s rowdy ways

wild west wind charging

quick heavy downpour ensues

galloping breakers

the mighty sea roars

unleashing angry breakers

pounding pier wall

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

Meanwhile… at the beach-3 Haiku

afternoon zephyr

languorous waves trip ashore

teenagers sneak beer

lazul bay shimmers

south east wind whips round pier

rolling coffee cups

a light warming breeze

wraps around her bare shoulders

she shivers slightly
