So, I’ve decided to write a haiku over the next 24 days to celebrate Winter and the run up to Christmas.
So for day number 1 …
Waiting for snowfall;
Our cheeks are burning from
Winter’s cold breath.
Come back tomorrow for another haiku.
Take It Easy
Paul
indigo darkness
marauding across rooftops
chimneys breathe heavy
Here’s a little Monday evening haiku. The nights are setting in quickly now in Newcastle with some lovely shades of colour among the blackened blue.
Why not check some of my other writing while your here.
I love reading your feedback.
Take it easy.
Paul.
honeysuckle breeze
taste of summer’s farewell kiss
bronze leaves fall in love
This haiku came to me when out in the garden and catching a faint scent of honeysuckle this afternoon.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and while your hear why not check my other pieces.
Thanks for reading,
Paul
To celebrate the arrival of meteorological Autumn, here’s a little haiku.
leaves crack underfoot
honey-gold and warm bronze hues
autumn’s first rewards
I’d love to know your thoughts.
clouded by dank fog
guided by wailing gulls
a ship clears the storm.
This was originally posted on my twitter @PaulWritesPoems without title or artwork. The original image was captured on the Northumberland coast in June 2020.
The flame glows brightly
a memory of life lost
burning out too fast.
Curb your inner voice
it speaks in hateful language
always love yourself
Sleeves on grey wet eyes
rush to wipe away sorrow
rub the pain deeper
No more clapping palms.
A fly dead in shocked violence.
Silence falls. At last.
Lightning pierces sky
wounding with crazed cruel intent
Thunder gives applause.
