Weekly update on my 100 Days of Haiku challenge. I’ve struggled for inspiration again this week – well the hot weather has helped nothing – but here’s this week’s selection (one a day).
Bright green minibeast,
door lintel is its park bench:
small oak bush cricket.
Tuesday 23 July
Little brown fluttery-by
busily seeking nectar
in overgrown hedge.
Wednesday 24 July
Clear azure blue sky,
zip-wired swifts circling high
pick off flying ants.
Thursday 25 July
Wispy mare’s tail
cirrus clouds so high above.
Swifts circling below.
Friday 26 July
Harley or Honda?
Who cares the make when all rev
so noisily.
Saturday 27 July
Sleeping all day long:
pussy cat where have you been?
Night down the rat mines.
Sunday 28 July
Rain, glorious rain,
making gardens green again.
Daybreak brings wet cats.
And the tally of progress by week:
| Week | Haiku |
| 1 | 16 |
| 2 | 28 |
| 3 | 33 |
| 4 | 26 |
More next week.
