Dog in the alley…
The neighbourhood cats scarper,
bushed tails skyward.

For The Love Of Haiku
Wand in a backpack…
Novice magician casts spell
over commuters.

A progressive haiku about noise
Ape-house at the zoo…
A great family outing:
screams, snot, candy floss.
*
Enjoying the garden…
Teenagers’ windows open,
loud music thumping.
*
Footballers swearing…
A Sunday stroll in the park
on the day of rest.
*
Walking on the Downs…
Free tickets to the air show,
mobiles ringing.
*
Reflecting on ears…
The miracle of hearing
and the art of quiet.

I dedicate this progressive haiku to one devoted dad who snatches moments from parenthood and cleaning sticky noses to write haiku and experimental fiction at graphitebunny.wordpress.com

A mist haiku trilogy
Mist in the treetops…
The clouds have come visiting;
the sun stays at home.
*
Mist turned to drizzle…
The sky eats the horizon
and spits at the earth.
*
Mist dissipating…
Birds snatch disappearing worms
and swoop to the sun.

A snow haiku trilogy
Men regressed to boys…
Throwing snowballs and sledge racing
they forget the bills.
*
Dogs regressed to pups…
Leaping snapping at snowflakes
they half remember.
*
Women non-regressed…
Walking thinking about snow
they foresee the slush.
