Blackbird – Haiku

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

asleep by back door
puppy basks in the sunshine
innocent dreamer

the low slipping tide
revealing pebbles and rocks;
dog chasing it's tail

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.

Just released my new haiku collection over the weekend. It is available now from Amazon. Below is a selection of haiku from the book. Enjoy

grey clouds pulled apart
almost celestial sunshine
sprinkled on low tide

P.S

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

P.S.
