Relentless rain taps
rat tat on Velux windows,
slooshes from gutters.

Silence
City without cars
benefit of pitching snow
everything is calm.

- Bristol rarely gets snow, so this event is noteworthy, it is also worth highlighting that Bristolians have their own word for ‘settling’ (of snow) which is ‘pitching’ so I have used it in this haiku. Walking to work was a pleasure this morning on two counts, firstly the sheer beauty of seeing the world through a different lens and secondly the almost complete absence of cars. It set me thinking how beautiful the world would be with fewer cars on the road, they are a convenient nuisance.
Tomorrow’s forecast
Looming threat of snow
excited and uneasy
in equal measure.

Pigeon pair in flight
skilfully touch wings, dancing;
lovers of the air.

Heard on the wireless
today’s the most depressing

Life
If there’s a reason
then surely days like today
in part explain it.

Earned privilege
Between a dog walk
and shopping, I sneak a snooze;
Saturday PM.

The steep sweet meadows
now clad in deep mountain snow

Pack up the boxes
an eleven month slumber
in the loft awaits.
