The semi stray cat - Haiku

 


standing over sink

scouring last night's scorched pot;

cat looks in judging


November sunshine

the sudden squally showers;

cat scarpers for shed

Haiku & Music Collaboration

 


A couple of weeks ago I was asked by Naviar Records if I would like to collaborate in a project where musicians were invited to compose music to accompany a Haiku. 

The Haiku was ; the bracing east wind/ cold as a nordic summer/ kicking up white sand.

16 artists composed music to accompany this Haiku

Here is the link so you can listen to the results

https://www.naviarrecords.com/2022/10...

Hope you enjoy these 16 tracks.

Haibun - Dentist

 


Over the weekend I broke a tooth whilst munching on toasted Ciabatta bread. Luckily when I phoned the dentist on Monday Morning they had an opening for eleven AM. The dentist is situated in a small complex in the centre of the village, surrounded by wild fields to the east and south leading to the pier and beach.

standing by the car

looking at trees brambles,weeds;

dentist appointment
