first day at work
a man with the same car
nods hello

growing unrest -
on the baby monitor
lightning static



[published: "Storm" - British Haiku Society anthology - 2007]

(currently selling these monitors on eBay)

streetlights -
at the window your silhouette
watches the snow

night frost
aircraft strobe lights
amongst the stars


[published: Simply Haiku 6:4]

city park -
each icy puddle
kicked into shards

blackbird dusk -
next door's cat
mooching home

au revoir Simply Haiku

I'll miss you!

No news as of yet on the Simply Haiku website but the archives and search facility are to stay live apparently.

Always sad to see the passing of a quality journal.

Tinywords

Hello and season's greetings!

my Christmas haiga is on Tinywords today 

autumn's end -
from somewhere on the allotments
whistling

this year
the Christmas lights blue
on the council's tree

Tinywords is back

Tinywords is back after a lengthy break (hooray!) starting on December 1st. A haiga of mine will appear somewhere in Issue 1.

See http://www.tinywords.com/ for details.

the drunk
so forceful
yet so light
when she barges into me
voices her opinions

out of nowhere
a whirlwind of leaves
travels down the road

daybreak -
each clump of grass
has its shadow

after all these years
still dancing it's routine
the beggar's cup


[Blithe Spirit 19:2]

the silence of pines -
midges in a shaft
of sunlight

silver on velvet -
the busker works his thank yous
into the song

rush hour…
two women embrace
then sign their goodbyes

caught in the full-beam
the hare's tail
this way and that

these short evenings
in last year’s leaves
a blackbird skull


[Chrysanthemum #2]
