In these continued strange times and to do my little bit by giving back. I have put my new haiku collection ” Catch the Silence ” up on wattpad, where it is free for everyone to read.
Here is the link https://www.wattpad.com/857418999-catch-the-silence-haiku
distant seagull’s shriek
catches the silent moment
traffic roars again
down the narrow path
along the rocky coast walk
Northern Bedstraw blooms
rotting boat on rocks
prayers of returning safe
long time forgotten
an empty car park
leaves gather in sunken space
cracked iron cast grate
walkers on the road
avoiding jogger’s droplets
social distancing
after the rainfall
flowers droop from their brown pots
footprints of a cat
outside garden wall
purple tulips are blooming
wish that I could paint
In these days of isolation and social distancing and to give a little bit back. I have made Haiku Moments free on Amazon for the next 5 days https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6FFP9S/
Feel free to share this link
Many thanks and stay safe

Last Wednesday I had a meeting at a large company. Pulling in, it was difficult to find a parking space. After a couple of laps, one appeared. Preparing to get out, I noticed a monument opposite, with people sitting on a bench. When the meeting was over, went and had a look at the monument.
withered hedgerow frames
the remembrance monument
memories engraved
beside monument
naming passed over workers
people eat their lunch
the rain falls slowly
traffic moving at snail’s pace
roadworks and rainbows
city’s eastern edge
awash with sunshine rainfall
it’s spring’s first rainbow
before the storm hits
yellow daffodil hearts bloom
drive to funeral
the drab grey mizzle
descends upon unseen bay
two crows chatter on
a thick pea-souper
can’t see pathway to shoreline
carry in firewood
hidden midday sun
attempts to burn morning mist
tranquil bay asleep
Thank you for reading.
P.S. I would like to wish you peace and happiness over the coming holiday season.
Today was warmish for November, so I took a walk along the promenade. Here are some of the things that caught my eye, in haiku form.
Thank you for reading hope you enjoyed them.
