haiku twenty nine

hollyhocks peep in virgin snow

moon silvering

stars come and go

…

haiku twenty three

the bumblebee

investigates my perfume

and leaves

…

haiku twenty two

until light

thin cry of young blackbird

beneath my window

haiku nineteen

village graveyard –

sweeping autumn leaves

from my ancestors

~

haiku eighteen

a moment-

that single coil of owl’s flight

above the marsh mist

~

haiku seventeen

before midnight
the she fox in the wood
gets no answer
~

haiku sixteen

nearly weightless it leaps

eyeing my broad bean seeds

damn chattering squirrel

~

haiku fifteen

wolf moon

the crows sudden silence

 my childs hesitation

~

haiku fourteen

wanting him –

a dark shadow falls

from last years diary

~

haiku thirteen

the old collie

opens one eye

and blinks at the orphan lamb
~
