Claggy when too wet
sets to concrete in the dry
blooming Bristol clay.

Digging my allotment is a trial. The soil is clay based and no matter how much organic matter I chuck in, the clay seems to rise to the surface. When it is wet it is impossible to dig, everything sticks to everything. When it is dry, it becomes so hard that pushing a spade into it causes a jarring sensation and breaking the lumps is serious hard labour. Perhaps I should move.

The onions are in
for a few joyful moments
life is suspended

Bandana and beard
and looking like a biker
out digging again.

Each moment savoured
each crumbling of every clod
preparing the ground

Yesterday’s haiku from which the first line is taken:
Escaping their homes
to see a world through new eyes
each moment savoured.
Perhaps you’d like to join in.
