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

Haiku – Cats, Dogs & Birds
head under the car white paws extended in sunshine neighbour's sleepy cat
escaped bronze greyhound galloping through the village looks for finishing line
amidst rustling leaves a blackbird sings his sweet song balmy evening

Balmy – Haiku
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

Rocky Shoreline – 6 Haiku
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves smoothing out pebbles
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves cabin cruiser sets sail
sitting on the rocks soft splash of incoming waves trapped bladder wrack
today's dark grey haze burns off with afternoon sun sit on shoreline rocks
today's dark grey haze burns off with afternoon sun rest on shoreline rocks
today's heavy haze burns off with the afternoon sun tarry on shoreline

Twilight – 3 Haiku
it’s almost nightfall
twilight just slipping away
hedgerows in silence
it’s almost nightfall
twilight just slipping away

twilight just slipping away

Solstice Weekend – 5 Haiku
This solstice weekend has seen a myriad of weather fronts. From glorious sunshine to the four winds howling and galloping breakers, followed by relentless rain sweeping in from the Atlantic and back again to sunshine. Here are five haiku it inspired.
blustery morning
the four winds howl around house
hear the eaves crack, squeak
the four winds howl, howl
kicking up swirling sandstorm
three heavy raindrops
on summer solstice
sweeping rain falls with vengeance
Dylan’s rowdy ways
wild west wind charging
quick heavy downpour ensues
galloping breakers
the mighty sea roars
unleashing angry breakers
pounding pier wall

Animals … 5 Haiku
evening rainfall
brushes flowers from shrubs and trees
birds return to nests
purple flowers bloom
amidst thistles and brambles
Alsatian cocks leg
as I walk the lane
brown butterfly casts shadow
the sun travels west
crusty bread in beak
magpie flies to hedgerow
dining all alone
fox prowls the garden
sniffs round, slinks into hedgerow
put cheese back in fridge
P.S.
Catch the Silence, a new Haiku collection
Meanwhile… at the beach-3 Haiku
afternoon zephyr
languorous waves trip ashore
teenagers sneak beer
lazul bay shimmers
south east wind whips round pier
rolling coffee cups
a light warming breeze
wraps around her bare shoulders
she shivers slightly

Walk to Sea – 3 Haiku
plankton swirling round
beneath the pellucid sea
soft breeze turns the page
graffiti of love
adorning the old wooden door
afternoon amble
tide is fully out
seagulls wade through pier’s gunk
petrol and seaweed
