Travelling down the country on a winter's day recently
ivy hugs
naked trees
sleet day
ragged
hedgerows
shredded fields
life in tatters
sheep huddle
under naked trees
bleak day
driving by
devils bit mountain
munching an apple
wind
blown meadows
twisted branches
weary day
shafts of light
radiate from clouds
paths of peace
parting clouds
a silver stream
snakes through fields
Haiku
and Senyru
A
family funeral recently
steam flies
from a factory chimney
news of her death
blinding
sunshine
lighting the drive home
her peaceful passing
flooded fields
a copse of pine
reflect in prayer
removal mass
she checks the coffin
for her mother's warmth
removal
prayers
girls up and down checking
on their mother
the
coffin
carried to the hearse
a bitter day
coffin lowered
her head buried
in my arms
lost in grief
she looks to my mother
for her mother
heartbroken
with grief
our tears touch
eyes
stare
through a fog of disbelief
funeral day
grief stricken
six sisters identical
in black
Winter Haiku
icy paths
I walk in his footsteps
confident
blue
moon
the village numb
with frost
walking long shadows
under the setting sun
winter dusk
biting winds
twist her frown
into a smile
december
night
a silken moon
ripples the lake
bleak winter
night
bookmarked by my bed
a world of sunshine
clouds
frill
a midnight sky
pearl moon
winter night
the moon and the stars
walk me home
winter evening
a halo of light
circles the moon
biting
winter
a citrus sunrise
flames the sky
winter gale
a grove of pine
wheezing
winter
dusk
hoping to find you
among the stars
winter noon
the last photo of her
by the christmas tree
foggy day
sheep climb
into the clouds
frosty
morning
on the doormat a snail leaves
a gift of silver
after a
deluge
a prism of light
in a raindrop
after heavy rain
raindrops on leaves
dancing
