The neighbour’s farmyard
Bright light in the cattle shed
All night long it shines
Insomniac cows

Wet

In her Staydry coat
Ignoring the lashing rain
She walks her two soggy dogs
Canines look miserable

Wild

Yet again, drama
Magpies building their wild nest
In the same tree as pigeons
This will not end well

Turn

View from kitchen window
The sun on the grey hills
Now that the year has turned
Sets a smidge further west

Delight

annual delight
on bleak January day
marmalade making
sunshine in a jar

(and equaly traditional marmalade haiku!)

Frost

Christmas morning frost
And all the trees are Merry
Red robins released from cards
Button their feather waistcoats

Weave

On soaring wings do golden eagles dream
do sparrows play about their favoured eves
are robins with a cheeky chirp our friends
No, sadly, all anthropomorphic weaves

Pale

Sunlight through pale curtains
Leaves shadows, leaves uncertain
Patterns to delight and entertain
With visual refrain

On

wild storms brought floods
to rivers high and angry
impatient to be gone
onward, down to the sea

Fall

I see the sun falling
Into the folds of night
Why each day do you leave me
Where is your precious light?
