Gardener Part 2 – Haiku

last days of summer
breeze chases me around garden ;
where's my torn jumper ?

weekend gardener;
wheelbarrow of wet seaweed
struggles up slipway

My latest haiku collection; The Barren Wind is available FREE on Amazon Kindle for next 2 days.

Offer ends on midnight 7th October 2021

P.S.

2 days only

down at the seashore
ocean falls through my fingers ;
seaweed clings to rocks

on promenade bench
people dropping their breadcrumbs ;
grateful mistle thrush

walking the seawall
two white butterflies join me ;
leading the journey

blackbird crapping on
freshly cleaned patio wall ;
pour a glass of wine

the robin comes out
from under the big hedgerow ;
checking the weather

hours before the rain ;
part time horticulturists
out in their gardens

droplets of water
hang from the silver birch leaves -
greet fellow amblers

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
