Haiku - Blue Twine
thin blue twine holding
stainless steel bin to rusted gate -
water for the horses
west wind shepherding
the thin racing waves ashore
seaweed gulping air

Construction - Haiku
miserable wet day
construction men digging hole
cursing with laughter
empty shell of house
builders drilling concrete floor
someone's makeover dream
jackdaw testing twigs
lift up,put down,picks the one
new season new home

White Butterfly - 3 Haiku
midday sun shimmers
noodling around the garden
first white butterfly
first white butterfly
flutters by garden window
on to paradise
first white butterfly
flutters past garden window
dozing in armchair

Bleak - Haiku
tufts of greyish clouds
hang over mountain valley
watery sunshine
waves rise fold and crash
watery sunshine,strong gusts
face masks litter path
cars spill out people
straw baskets, tea and sandwiches
sunshine and cold hands
P.S.

The Magpie's Haul - Haibun
Last weekend, whilst clearing out the fridge, I came across an old block of cheese. After cutting it up, left it outside for the birds.
The magpies descended. After awhile I noticed that as well as flying back to their nest with cheese, they were hiding some pieces in the old dog kennel. So no-one else could take their cheese.
Then standing by the kitchen window, one clever fellow was digging a hole in a flower pot and burying some cheese. All the while giving me a knowing beady eye.
digging a small hole
magpie hides the extra cheese
in white flower pot
mouldy cheese left out
magpies swoop for the cheese fest
hide some for later

Stillness - 3 Haiku
1.
bitter blue morning
the serene blue bay sleeping
silent empty beach
2.
bitter blue morning
the serene blue bay sleeping
just muffled traffic
3.
bitter blue morning
the serene grey bay sleeping
stillness this stillness

Seagulls - 3 Haiku
1.
flocks, flocks of seagulls
line the craggy shoreline's edge
jump incoming waves
2.
flocks, flocks of seagulls
line the craggy shoreline's edge
me them and seaweed
3.
flocks, flocks of seagulls
line the craggy shoreline's edge
me, them, with our thoughts
P.S.
