Haiku of the Week December 2022

Calm, drier days, more “normal”…

Sun flits like robins,
low, through bare silver hazels.
Gold leaves cartwheel past.

(30/12/22)

**************************************

The redwings are back, just passing through…

Holly de-berried:
hungry red-wing hordes arrive
like Christmas shoppers.

(23/12/22)

**************************************

After a hard week, respite…

Suddenly unclenched,
that icy grip of Winter.
The woods breathe again.

(16/12/22)

**************************************

Icy weather, coldest for years…

Tremulous pale sky,
low sun strobes through bare branches.
Birds skim diamond grass.

**************************************

Traveller’s Joy (Clematis Vitalba) growing on the hedges, very seasonal…

Bearding bare hedges,
wreathing, smoke-like, through branches:
natural tinsel.
