May fair

.

Entranced by music

as I weave between the stalls;

community day.

Copper

.

Colours of the Spring

copper beech canopy and

copper sulphate sky.

Spring dance

 

The funniest thing

a puppy chasing blossom

and a butterfly.

Window on the world

.

A view from the train

the meandering river

where fours and eights pull;

predominant colour green

and all feels good with the world.

This morning

 

Morning mist lingers

with promise of a fine day

and birdsong enchants.

Looking

 

Young men, gaze upwards

I too turn and look with them;

a mackerel sky.

Spring arrives

.

Small cotton wool clouds

dot a vast expanse of blue;

a welcome return.

Starburst

 

Magnolia tree

bursting with delicate blooms

snow white in the spring.

Comma (2)

 

A warm Spring morning

punctuated only by

a passing comma.

  • adapted from an earlier haiku, prompted by seeing my first garden butterfly of the season. Origination is not coming too easily for me at the moment.

Sprinter

 

Enough already!

Winter’s tendrils holding fast,

bring me some sunshine.
