One or Two Haiku
I have another of those ridiculously busy weeks, this week, and will hardly be online until the weekend. So my apologies for missing lots of your posts, and I’ll also post my own one a little earlier than I would have otherwise.
As I have mentioned before, I don’t write a lot of poetry, mainly because it never seems to work out as well as I would like. But, in defiance of that, here are a few haiku from my notebooks, ones that seem a little better than most.
Be gentle with me, kind reader.

September sunshine.
Lazily picking apples;
A hint of autumn.
Yellow chestnut leaves
Rattling wildly in the wind –
– Autumn’s prayer flags
A sycamore leaf,
Caught midair in this cobweb
Is frozen in time.

Lime tree’s final leaf
Hangs yellow in the lamp glow
Waiting for the wind.
Fat, white snowberries
Clustered upon bare branches;
Pale moons in the dusk.
