From haiku published in BLITHE SPIRIT (British Haiku Society)

'
overhead whistling
quietly the gap
in a rook's wing






until the apple
blossoms the lichen
on next door's roof








in its grave
gently stroking the hare's fur
november winds







city heat
from the grassed reservoir
a twister of hay







paper bark birches
she lets each page
flutter down







dusk freezes
by the old bridge
caught in weeds
the waning moon







overnight snow
circling the house
each pause of the hare







evening mist
gunshots echo
through dead elms







full moon
barn owl's face
every quarter








beach hut washed
away by the cliff
china neatly stacked








snow outside
drifting inside
fragrance of jonquils







back of the drawer
wild barley seeds
in last summer's socks
