more - intermittent - haiku for March (5)

March 25 -  generations

past generations

haunting photographs

remind us

March 27 - moon

before moonrise

among the stars

the comet’s hair 

March 30 - writing implement

a forefinger

on a steamed-up window

outlines a heart

Yet more haiku for March (4)

March 13 - primary mode of transportation

from the traffic jam
I watch the slow progress
of narrowboats

d'un embouteillage
j'observe le lent progrès
des péniches

March 14 (Pi Day)

divide circle’s edge

by its diameter

- you will have pi today

learning decimals

of pi the irrational

not quite rational

March 15 - paper

box of old letters -

will our grandchildren

keep our emails?

March 16 - storm

solar storm - 

green light

for northern skies

Haiku a day in March (3)

March 10  - erosion

Yorkshire cliff-top path

where we walked not fearing time

now crumbling

(Think Cleveland Way)

March 11 - new moon

earthshine

old moon cradled

by the new

clear sky

on new moon night

stars take centre stage

(think Lake Tekapo Mount John)

March 12 - mystery

a shadow

a half-heard song

the scent of roses

More haiku for March (2)

March 4 - fire

frosty windows -

someone has to rise

and light the fire

Christmas at gran's -

our neighbour lights the fire

to welcome us home

March 5 - breakfast

filling station -

all-day breakfast

coffee to go

March 6 - wildlife

from the scaffolding
a masked face peers in -
raccoon in the city

March 8 - lines

punishment


or reward for long life

-
a hundred lines

March 9 - salt

hot day's hike

 sweat-soaked T-shirt

taste of salt

promenade ensoleillée
T-shirt trempé de sueur
goût de sel
