a flurry
of cherry blossoms —
snow globe

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #nature #flurry

purple sky —
the lavender tea
tastes of rain

#haikusaturday #haiku

#DailyHaikuPrompt #northwind

in full mourning
the north wind and i
continue to wail

mended cup —
a sparrow takes a sip
of rainwater

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #mend

Thank you!

jackdaws
nesting in chimney pots
home from home

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #warmth

Roman landscape
miles upon miles of
unbending road —
this yearning for the twists
and turns of country lanes

#tankathursday #tanka #micropoetry #landscape

soaking up
the last dash of sun —
barley grass

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #barley #soaked

Gorgeous!

in the grove
shafts of sunlight
bluebells

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #grove

patience …
even hard rime softens
in spring rain

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #rain

Thank you

footprints
fading with every wave —
fallen sandcastles

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #sand #haikusaturday

a good one

the clip-clop
of a shire horse walking —
my heartbeat steadies

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #horse

horse on the beach…
I start to run too
for no reason

#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (horse)

lightning strike
my grandmother hides
under the table

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #lightning

turning the page
of a Jane Austen novel
if I could …
step through the parlour door
and listen to the gossip

#tankathursday #tanka #page #micropoetry

bean soup —
the haze of summer days
steaming the kitchen

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #bean-soup

hoarfrost
the old oak’s beard
glinting in the sun

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #hoarfrost

charcoal sky
she pencils in
a blackbird’s song

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #charcoal

a kingfisher
slips beneath the surface
the river, unruffled

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #kingfisher

Thank you!

Thanks! Saw this when on holiday in Spain.

blizzard warning
we wonder which winds
to face into

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #blizzard

all lined up
at the swimming pool’s edge —
sparrow chatter

#dailyhaikuprompt #sparrow

ice crystals
frozen from within
winter rose
when will you open
to dawn’s soft light

#tankathursday #tanka #frozen

the candle
burns itself out —
unspoken words

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #candle

they sang sea shanties … 
to the whistle of seabirds 
on a distant shore  —
keeping to the beat
of an ocean drum 

#tankathursday #tanka #drumbeat #micropoetry

lost in the midst
of low cloud
we pause …
it’s just fog you say
and fog, in time, will lift
