A collection of my haiku, mostly drawn up from my
Twitter posts - @haikuinen - https://twitter.com/Haikuinen
---
from the thin blue air
angel of the Arctic lands
a white ptarmigan
---
windy beach -
holding up the grey sky
a child's kite
---
a flock of starlings
dart nowhere with jittery
impossible loops
---
squirrel, trunk, branch
running comes to a head
jump, next tree
---
cold white blanket
under Arctic moonlight
pines hibernate
---
flying in
dragging with it a grey mist
a red kite
---
the sun turns up
woodland bathes in evening light
barn owl snoozes on
---
the light brigade
every day has extra
spring sunlight
---
a lone fly
trapped between window panes
in search of summer
---
promise of summer
the sun hangs from the skies
longer and longer
---
beguiling prospect
crisp fresh snow on the ground
angel free
---
cloudless night
forecast suggests a prospect
of a morning!
---
morse code of spring
woodpecker's rattle transmits:
I long for my mate
---
colour in the snow
curious snowdrops ask
is it spring yet?
---
blue tit and squirrel
a vote by the bird table
the squirrel lost
---
woodpecker
with a thought for the future
stores a cone
---
owl does the maths
eying up a field mouse
I've got your number
---
should they remember
the daffodils will appear
winter be gone
---
the city ski tracks
and winter light in their prime
unexpected joy
---
bus stop at dawn
the crunch of ice under boot
confirms it's March
---
hibernating beach
cleared by bitter March winds
Sun's holiday
---
a lone reindeer
saunters across the felltop
my soul under hoof
---
the bitter end
of this winter is nigh
sweet spring alive
---
the green man
counting leaves on the ground
by the church wall
---
grey weather changing
blue sky and sun barge in
birdsong amplifies
---
snowdrops pushing up
the most ardent supporters
of the spring
---
on a pine branch
squirrel stands perfectly still
how much longer?
---
robin by the pond
knows not that it can find
beauty in itself
---
raindrops on snow
blasphemy for lovers of
the Arctic winter
---
spring and ravens
both are in the Arctic air
airborne stunt duo
---
pining for a friend
a grey-headed woodpecker
befriends a pine
---
woken by birdsong
blackbird under my window
a morning minstrel
---
squirrel on a branch
a regular pause to check
its world is all right
---
intricate paths
through the arctic winter air
raven's dayjob
---
wandering squirrel
hesitation followed by
a burst of speed
---
snowy apple tree
postbox tied to the trunk
letters its fruit
---
slow snowflakes drift
a crow on a birch branch
tends to its feathers
---
migrating swans
get cold feet with the frost
turn back to South
---
walk in the park
a classic Sunday bite
washed down with rain
---
squirrel's hops painted
the spring sun glistens
through snowy birches
---
silent treatment
blackbird buttons up until
the magpie scarpers
---
I disturb
a flock of canada geese
honks fill the air
---
misty evening
rain too frail to yield to
gravity
---
spring's first swan
flies side by side with my
imagination
---
up North
frost sharpens your senses
grim or not
---
rain instead of snow
Arctic winter's message
lost in translation
---
a miscellany
of last summer's leaves
nature's lost and found
---
a robin lands on
pine needles' icy glaze
two dazzlers
---
small dog
hyperactive cat
yelp
---
catlike aplomb
snail drops off a leaf
vanishes in shell
---
spring rage
woodpecker going berserk
drumming the lamp post
---
rage against the cliff
ocean waves showing off
gull drifts serenely
---
resilient snail
past a thousand dead leaves
its path picked
---
unjust fairness
both swan and refinery
mirrored by the lake
---
no leaf unturned
winter winds and bookworms
with the same idea
---
sentinel of spring
head of a snowdrop through
the white livery
---
one of those days
when you can feel the fog
serve it in soup bowl
---
