Pitsford Water circuit

Since I was most certainly not 'in the haibun vein', I offer this ginko - a series of haiku about a walk:

10 .30  am

cars unload people

bikes, boots and backpacks


human sundial
I am the pointer 
time to go

seven sunlit miles

around the water

though the wind blows cold

cowslips bloom

swans swim on the lake

kestrels windhover

JCBs cart stones

to reinforce the banks

water or fishing

the last two miles drag
i could touch the car park

but the path turns away

baguettes and coffee

deferred gratification
nearly 1 pm
