Haiku – Eyes Shut

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

black cat's bell tinkling
as she scents garden's border;
robin well hidden

outside it's raining;
fly wanders around inside
car's interior
