A winter Collection of haiku's
glittering silver droplets
slowly they will melt
slush everywhere slush
left behind by melting snow
land now watery
ice glistening bright
vast expanse over the lake
now here until spring
arctic snow flurries
sweep across the barren lands
settling in drifts
snow falling softly
clothing all the world in white
drifting aimlessly
About this poem:
inspired by Socrates title snowflake ty mateangry seas, seagulls and sands (hauki)
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat
seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting
sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere
music and flowers ( haiku)
drifting filling the night air
with romantic tunes
bower of flowers
full of sweet scented blossoms
alive with colour
A Little Pumpkin (Haiku)
Satisfied with life I am
A little pumpkin
About this poem:
Not much!!The Hush Before Dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day
Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks
Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard
stillness shrouding all
Mountains (haiku)
dominating the landscape
with majestic face
Shooting Star
shooting star arches the sky
disappearing fast
Collection of Birds (haiku)
eating an enormous fish
see his pouch bulging
Merry kingfisher
waiting on his pole for fish
he darts and spears one
Full of joy and fun
the skylark warbles in glee
delight in each note
Fearsome eagle drops
plummeting down like a stone
striking hard he kills
Surreal Nature (haibun)
as he tumbles joyously in the sunlit sky and perches on a branch
to sing in such sweet melody that mistle thrush and blackbird join in.
Flowers smelling sweet
in such a variety
of colour and shape
A peaceful place to sit and enjoy all nature has to offer
to lean back and let go of every day stress and woes. To
celebrate just the joy of being alive and able to enjoy nature
Nature does her best
if only we care to look
at all her splendours

Death
often taking by surprise
one last gasp of air
leaving behind pain
sadness, sorrow and such loss
emptiness of heart
days pass by in grief
each becomes full of torment
as one struggles on
no light just darkness
no end is yet to be found
time they say will heal
for them left behind
no peace, just grief smothering
icy heart with blackness
