The Promenade.. 4 Haiku

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.

  1. on the promenade /mongrels pure bred’s fashion walk /coal barge leaves the docks
  2. on the promenade /expensive ski wear on show / we live by the sea
  3. on the promenade /struggle to elude dog mess /jimmy choo’s clack on
  4. everyone wraps up /Christmas market open now /just the same old kitsch

Thank you for reading hope you enjoyed them.

5 Haiku

  1. warm autumn drizzle / coats the freshly mown green lawn/ jackdaws out lunching
