HAIKU

A single wren sings

With its tiny machine gun

Spraying the morning.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The Great Escape - and no Steve McQueen or motorbike needed. ☕

HAIKU

Haiku's are fleeting

A ripe, hidden blackberry 

Picked to perfection.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I wait for the stirred cuppa's tiny whirlpool fade to a mill pond - now it's fully ready to sup. ☕

HAIKU

Beginners Haiku:

Take seventeen syllables,

Mould them from word clay.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The hug

From the

Very first glug.

HAIKU

The haiku drift mines

Where we rummage for meaning

From discarded words.

HAIKU

The blinds are still drawn

Monday may not be out there:

Schrödinger's Monday.

HAIKU

Sunday is comfort

An oasis of silence

To rest a short while

HAIKU

We are now between

The tick and tock of summer's

Universal clock.
