Rocky Shoreline – 6 Haiku

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

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

Walk to Sea – 3 Haiku

plankton swirling round
beneath the pellucid sea
soft breeze turns the page

graffiti of love
adorning the old wooden door
afternoon amble

tide is fully out
seagulls wade through pier’s gunk
petrol and seaweed
