hydrangea haiku

October day
fading into itself
hydrangea


For Rachel


plane landing
our life
just took off

under the bridge
dark shadows
of parting

windy day
holding on
to her hugs

wind-blown photo
my scarf
around her neck

sent presentation with autumn haiga on these ones. Cannot upload a presentation here!!

weeping willow haiku Sella House Hotel

beneath
the weeping willow
dew drop tears


UK Countryside drive haiku

parting clouds
golden rays
on hay bales

chimney stacks
from old textile mills
patchwork fields

sloping fell
of heath lands
Autumn day

moody sky
driving up
and down hills

autumn winds
west facing trees
bare

driving
through floods
country upside-down

roads rise
into the mountains
fields of sky

mist veils the day
sheep
lifting

sheep circle
a flood of clouds
hill climbing

mist
descends the mountains
sky torn lake

vague outline
of mountains
russet forest

wet October
the countryside
autumn brown

hills meet
at the Ash forest
flame Autumn

dry stone walls
stagger fields
sheep roam free

autumn hedgerows
Ash saplings
yellow


sunshine
on wet motorway
gleam of cars


red rose county
scarlet berries
of Rowan trees










Visit to Huddersfield 8 October to see Rachel

chimney stacks
on the lower dales
misty mountains

colder
as we approach the hills
fog lifting

misty morning
fields on the moors
drifting

motorway exit
sat nav
confused

hearts skip
in the shopping mall
two lattes

rosy dusk
a girly day
in Huddersfield

plane flashes
into the sunset
a year's journey shared

dusk swirls
with a pink sunset
her warm embrace

starlit night
the lake caressed
by soft mountains

mountain road
hedgerows look down
on the sea

corkscrew roads
hedges curve
to the sea

a scatter of stars
above dark beech trees
Autumn night



Tanka at Sella House Hotel, UK October 2012





crisp autumn morning
blue skies and birdsong
fill the walled garden
leaves lambent
in October light

haiku night trembles

a snow lily
lifts her face to the moon
night trembles
