In full, lively bloom
yellow weeds absorb sunlight
nod to the river.

A River Haiku
Peat brown water, calm
and quiet between the trees
in their summer green.
Haiku for Primroses
Primroses in a
ditch, surviving wind and rain,
lighting up the gloom.
I am currently putting together a collection of poetry including photographs which I have taken myself along the river. The collection will be called The Red Petticoat and it’s almost ready.
A Winter Haiku
Black against the gold
tracings on a Winter sky
December sunset.
A Sad Haiku
Such a sad willow
weeping into the river
longing for the Spring.
Pale foaming ribbons/flooding river brown with peat/rushing from the hills.
Two haikus:
I pass this cave at least twice every day but I have never looked inside, preferring to leave it as a mystery!
1. Dark, cold, damp, moisture
dripping, creeping; insects crawl
among the beer cans.
2. Hidden, warm, dry, safe
a camper bed, books and wine
crusty bread and cheese.
