Haiku 14

The broad beans are in

hope the savage winds abate

blustery cool May.

Haiku 13

Neither slow nor worm

unkind, lazy misnomer

lizard without legs

 

by Scooj

A different emphasis

A departure from the natural history haiku today

 

Public sector cuts

diminish the services

we take for granted.

 

by Scooj

I work in the public sector and with the UK election in full swing I thought I would start to voice my thoughts through haiku. It isn’t just health and education (which are reasonably well protected) it is all the other public services we should be worried about. Especially when it comes to the environment.

Tender violet

drawing early Summer bees

with hands by your face.

Russet explosions

or a swarm of sea urchins

Spring caterpillar.

Haiku 10

 

Skeleton of lace

once vigorous verdant leaf

intricate patterns.

An arranged marriage

of wrought iron and living wood

finding harmony.

Deathly cold darkness

adorns Autumn’s fallen leaves

with Winter’s halo
