Haiku Fortnight

I’m currently taking part in a Haiku Fortnight Challenge. For two weeks, I’ve been writing a Haiku a day. Here are the results so far:

 

Shifty pigeons and

Spider-light threads drift through the

Incontinent sky

 

—

 

A tanker slides past

I hear engines through my feet

Thames talks in tremors

 

—

 

An aeroplane, high,

Passes, scars the perfect blue

As the wind changes

 

—

 

Wake up to birdsong

The clean morning, dew laden

Washes me with light.

 

—

 

Absolute silence,

A long low inkblot of trees,

Broken by birdwings

 

—

 

Trains clatter above

Bright flowers shake fragile heads

Trembling defiance

 

—

 

Small dogs chase pigeons

Boats nose into the ebb tide

A summer swan song

 

—

 

Light against my palm

The leaf, promise fulfilled, keeps

Ochre remembrance
