Sunset, late winter

Pink-flushed western skies;
February-fill-the-ditch
Cannot quench the sun.

2015

Yay! I get to post
The first haiku of the year!
On a winter's day.


Surely this makes up
for all those haiku last year
that I never wrote?


Foggy day becomes
freezing January night.
I long for spring's warmth.


Until spring there are
jobs in the house to do
like decorating.


Rubbing down paintwork
Difficult when all one wants
is to hibernate :D

Phoning it in

Today the checklist
Says "haiku" - so I haiku,
Though it's a bit blah.

Show up at the page
And see what finds its way out.
It's all I can do.

Feeling a bit grot,
Procrastinating "real" work
Playing at living.

Isn't it always the way?

It's like the buses -
You hang around for days, then
Three turn up at once!

Retroku

A bit of quiet
To record the dawn chorus
Too much to ask for?

Out at four thirty.
In the space of five minutes:
Three cars, two planes.

Saved into my Drafts folder on 28th May.

Slab and grue

Sneezing hugely, I
Reprise Anne's April haiku:
The one about snot.  :(

Searching for photos
In the gmail drafts folder
I find two haiku!

Which just goes to show:
You never know what you'll find
When you declutter.

It's that month again

Daily haiku fail
Weekly is not much better
Think we've lost the plot.

Look on the bright side:
It could be worse; we could be
NaNoWriMo-ers.
