Stills of nature

Category: haiku

  • calm


    snake hides in the grass


    a caterpillar passes


    both perfectly calm

  • hide


    rain drops beat the path


    wind gusts shake the scenery


    birds hide beneath leaves

  • noise

    cooing wood pigeons


    chittering magpie fledglings


    noise of passing planes

  • snapshots

    snapshots of Ireland


    Dublin, hills, sea, cliffs and birds


    credit card statement

  • bakery

    spring morning downtown

    jackdaw landing in a tree

    bakery opens

  • trophy

    spring sky fills with hail

    one of the geese tumbles down

    a hunter’s trophy

  • crumbs

    frozen spring morning


    ducks waddle in the backyard


    bread crumbs in my hand

  • buoy

    sunlight hits the reed


    sea of moving beiges and greys


    Bluethroat as buoy

  • front row

    in early spring sun


    a private bluethroat concert


    sitting in front row
