Ant day

.

Gulls in thermals swoop

and stall, feasting on new queens;

tiny protein treats.

Heatwave

 

Sitting in the cool

lobby inside the front door;

the only escape.

Warm Sunday evening 

.
I sit suspended

in my wood-slatted deck chair;

coming up for air.

Day star

 

Brightness penetrates

through the leafy canopy;

Summer here at last.

Sol

.

Thoughts turn to Summer

and glorious days ahead;

skylarks in the dunes.

Dry

 

Prolonged dry weather,

as we call it in the trade,

set to hang about.

Wisteria

 

Elongated sweet

smelling purple blooms cascade

from the balustrade.

Segue

 

Magnolia blooms

have all but gone; early Spring

beckons to Summer.

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.

Let me be

 

Summer daydreams are

rudely interrupted by

the here and the now.
