Steeping – Haiku

lone magpie saunters
along the patio wall;
green tea leaves steeping

by the sunny bench

cat and I cast our shadows;

touching just briefly

tourist cars whizz past

eyes shut standing up asleep;

white pony in field

diagonal rain
gusting in off Atlantic;
sideways umbrellas

April rain falling
panhandler at traffic lights;
cost of living bites

soft Atlantic wind
waves tumbling fading away;
amble along shore

on the red bollard
wren singing short melody;
takes off,next venue

last night's rain remains;
oily reflections linger
in shallow puddles

light dusting of snow
disappears with coastal breeze;
back under duvet

the bare trees stand still
amidst listless winter sky;
dusk's amber flicker
