Another weekly update on my 100 Days of Haiku challenge. Inspiration and creativity continue to to be in short supply – I’m not good at either, and that’s the point: to try to improve. Anyway, here’s this week’s daily selection.
The rain it raineth
every day – not always here,
it just feels that way.

Mysterious? Oh really?
Bermuda Triangle.
Wednesday 31 July

Millions of disease vectors
but lots of paté.
Thursday 1 August
Willow tree, so green,
is the paint upon the wall.
Dining room is done.
Friday 2 August
Recently mown grass.
Crows hunting amongst the hay.
Lone cedar stands guard.
Saturday 3 August
Housefly, nuisance fly
buzzing around our bedroom.
Magazine scored.
