Sunday Haiku

A Sunday Haiku
in seventeen syllables
The right thing to do

Tri-haiku XXXIII (Heaven)

Afternoon sunshine
in June, deliciously hot
I am in heaven

But it is a place
on earth, as Belinda said
and she was quite right

Nowhere else I would
further be this afternoon
than right here right now

Tri-haiku XVIII (Summer’s Child again)

Concluding ‘The Spring 21’ series (12 of 12)

I am summer’s child

Born of Spring I blossom and

bloom to full glory

…

I am summer’s child

My warmth grows stronger by the

day as sunshine comes

…

I am summer’s child

You will know me as the Spring

Such is my purpose

‘Summer’s Child‘ as No.18 in the Jemverse ‘Tri-haiku’ series was first published in May 2019

Tri-haiku XXXII – Time’s passage

The last of the month
where has February gone?
already it’s March

But no complaints here
for summer’s ever closer
Warmer daytime soon

Coupled with new growth
Springtime around the corner
with grass now greener

Tri-haiku XXXI (Daffodil Laughter)

A vibrant greeting
bursting in Springtime yellow
sunshine to my day

A splash of colour
to the monotone palette
of winter greyness

Daffodil laughter
brightens up most any day
Truly infectious

A haiku for Sunday

Quality of life
seized in every moment of
this Sunday of rest

Tri-haiku XXX (lucidity)

Haiku for Friday
as here in reflection I
position my muse

Of course there are words
The one constant in my gift
for mystery here

And yet for readers
moments of lucidity
with clarity here

Old and new (haiku)

Through the grandiose
a glimpse of today’s Brighton
History merges

[The ‘Widewater’ lagoon running along the Brighton Road between Lancing and Shoreham in West Sussex, UK is a brackish strip of tidal water. Sandwiched between the road and the sea and protected by a man-made shingle bank on the seaward side, it’s about a mile long and a haven for birds].
