Shimmering grasses

ripe flowerheads bent over

early summer breeze

  • 30 Days Wild is an initiative organised by the Wildlife Trusts. It is an annual challenge event, for those who choose to participate, to do one ‘wild’ thing a day throughout the month of June. I will try to write a nature haiku every day if I can, as my contribution to this celebration of wildlife and biodiversity. I did this back in 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

Final resting place

when we return to the soil

verdant new life thrives

Quintessential summer’s day

 

Lawnmowers buzzing

and a radio cuts through,

England – India

Urban mow

 

Pocket handkerchief

lawns attended to in this

first weekend of sun.

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance

time to button up.

One of my early haiku which I still rather like. I am mindful of it as we transition from Winter into Spring. First published on 5 September 2015.

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance;

time to button up.

14/30 Quaking Grass

Swaying in the breeze,

paper-thin lanterns rustle

and I sing for joy.
