Haiku on the page

Here’s a selection of some of my haiku that I have been fortunate enough to see published over the last year or so in Blithe Spirit (Journal of the British Haiku Society).

try to describe love

as summer flowers –

                speechless

valley lost in cloud

rain falls steady all morning

drips glisten on twigs

dry leaves crack

under silent skies

empty wires, too quiet

in the middle of

an open field

the only shadow

summer meadow
deep and tall under
scythe of swift

walk to the beach

on a spring afternoon

my shadow goes first

and one from a recent edition of Haiku Journal

misty air whispers

in a forest full of dreams

                love breathes through trees
