2/30 Damselfly

Momentary friend,

a wild beast in my kitchen

now released outside.

St Agnes

Gently subversive,

the coolest road signs are here;

surfing in Cornwall.

Phil

I lost an old friend

and I only heard today;

my heart is heavy.

Kingfisher

Slow lowland rivers,

pulling nets for a living,

those halcyon days.

Love May

Hey! George Monbiot

it will be forever May

when you rule the world.

 

by Scooj

Inspired by the inspiring (and controversial) George Monbiot.

Haiku 16

 

Do we see something

of ourselves, our ancestry

in fluffy lemurs?

Haiku 15

 

Counting 1…2…3…

beautiful green Spring meadows,

remember these things?

 

by Scooj

One for the planet

 

So the die is cast

not Dave, not Ed, not Nige, no!

Natalie for me

Haiku 13

Neither slow nor worm

unkind, lazy misnomer

lizard without legs

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.
