from the most beautiful eyes

and nothing compares

When my bashful gaze

lingers too long on your face

take it in good faith

Song to melt the heart

a bird deep in a thicket

welcomes longer days

In Lansallos Cove

where trees huddle for shelter

lichen enrichens

  • This only works if you pronounce lichen, litchen rather than liken. That is the way I was taught at school.

Silence

 

City without cars

benefit of pitching snow

everything is calm.

  • Bristol rarely gets snow, so this event is noteworthy, it is also worth highlighting that Bristolians have their own word for ‘settling’ (of snow) which is ‘pitching’ so I have used it in this haiku. Walking to work was a pleasure this morning on two counts, firstly the sheer beauty of seeing the world through a different lens and secondly the almost complete absence of cars. It set me thinking how beautiful the world would be with fewer cars on the road, they are a convenient nuisance.

Archetype

 

In ancient woodland

ferns unfurl and bluebells thrive;

late afternoon sun.

Mayflower

 

River of blossom

sweet-scented and soft to touch

let me bathe in you.

Notice

 

Do you ever look,

I mean…really look, at the

beauty in the world?
