Church Bells – Haiku

the Angelus bells
three minutes early tonight
anyone notice ?

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.

white butterfly flits
along colourful hedgerow
counting the blossoms

the relentless ants
ascending those steep inclines
a small garden rock

P.S.

thin blue twine holding
stainless steel bin to rusted gate
water for the horses

P.S.

The proof copy for the paperback version of my new haiku collection arrived today. This is my second collection. Here is a haiku from the book.

waxing crescent moon
hanging over the rooftops
dishes drying on rack

P.S.

after the sea storm
splashing around in puddles
girl in pink wellies

showers and sunshine
alternate with north west wind
sunscreen and raincoats

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

miserable wet day
construction men digging hole
cursing with laughter

high winds, big breakers
murky clear mountain river
rushing out to sea

rushing out to sea
murky clear mountain river
seagull standing still

over back over
dog sprints the short shoreline
black clouds dropping down

black clouds dropping down
cover the Burren mountains
tide keeps rolling in
