THE HOO OF HAIKU

An Easter Monday…

The white house in the window

Is covered by snow


Friday, 21 March 2008



Waking from deep sleep,

I put on the daily cross…

It is Good Friday


Monday, 10 March 2008



Beneath the new bridge

With four cross-shaped lighting masts:

Spring-like swastika


Friday, 7 March 2008



Under the apple,

A big she-cat eats old cheese…

The young wooer waits


Thursday, 6 March 2008



Pure mathematics:

Four wagtails plus some late snow…

Back in the garden


Tuesday, 4 March 2008



A young spider spins

A thread between two buds of

A dwarfish lilac




A morning in March –

The crow sits on the wire…

Finally it rains


Monday, 3 March 2008



Leap year or no,

The carpet of primroses

Lies in the backyard




On a window sill,

Above a sidewalk café,

A black cat sunning


Saturday, 1 March 2008



Shiny raindrops fall

From the budding apple tree

In the setting sun
