THE HOO OF HAIKU

Thursday, 29 May 2008



Frogs talk in the moor,

Crickets on the nearby hill…

What can a man say



Tuesday, 27 May 2008



Frogs croak in silence…

It’s hard to watch the Great Bear

When you’re under it





Waiting on the bench…

For a proverb to come true:

Bats come out at night



Monday, 26 May 2008



A pair of bats comes

And leaves the garden likewise…

Ah, nothing, nothing



Thursday, 22 May 2008



Through the old glass door…

From one street to the other –

The bewildered eye



Saturday, 17 May 2008



What a pilgrimage!?

Resting high in the lilac –

Small snail on a leaf



Friday, 16 May 2008



Who would not love you,

Blooming on the old cactus –

The only flower




Where are my glasses!?

Their giggles loom above me…

Lady dentist, nurse



Tuesday, 13 May 2008



By the riverside

People wait in a long queue…

The time of ice cream



Friday, 9 May 2008



The May encounters

With sweet looks coming out of

Every second pram



Monday, 5 May 2008



A Sunday sparrow

Throwing a bag of sugar

From the table – May



Sunday, 4 May 2008



Finally uncle!

An unknown mum says I am

To her little son



Saturday, 3 May 2008



Worrying about

A non-existing problem…

Sunny day of May





In his rainbow shorts,

Jogging back home from the woods…

Doctor of science



Thursday, 1 May 2008



A tabby cat sniffs

At a potato peeping

From a garden bed





The front yard is white.

A wagtail finds a puddle.

Petals fall from trees.





Rainy Labour Day…

Two men in orange raincoats

Empty a dustbin





Living gold statue

Of a woman in the street –

Labour Day in town





Lying in the square,

Under the poet’s statue –

Bicycle pedal
