9 Summer Haiku

Here are nine haiku, written over the past seven weeks. Hope you enjoy them.

  1. couple in kayak/ dogs racing along the beach/ turquoise sea idle’s

2. midday sun blazes down/ pleading heartfelt seagull’s cry/ having ploughman’s lunch

3. the low tide saunters/ waves roll in a hundred fold/ numbers on water

4. emerald pastures/ view across the bay today/ silver spider’s web

5. white noise of traffic/ zooming by the bay window/ rose bush keeps blooming

6. a magpie returns/ tidying the hidden nest/ distant seagulls shriek

7. an empty red bin/ two forlorn pink flip flops wait/colony of gulls

8. along the seashore/ a trail of darkened seaweed/ forgotten flip flops

9. colony of gulls/ feasting on rotten seaweed/ swatting the sandflies

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed them.
