We’re nearing the end of my 100 Days of Haiku challenge; just over two weeks to go. I need to get out more to stimulate the inspiration; however I continue to write more than one haiku most days although many are not at all good. Anyway here’s this week’s selection.
September Sunday,
warm sunny garden weather.
Neighbours arguing.
Tuesday 17 September
Venerable bears think
haiku writing very odd.
Maybe we all do?
Wednesday 18 September
Hidden in the trees
corvids argue all morning.
Continual din.
Thursday 19 September
Locks looking shaggy.
Long overdue, today we
for the barber’s chop.
Friday 20 September
Feeding together:
jackdaw and rook, corvids both,
across the stubble field.
Saturday 21 September
Blood test and flu jab;
chance meet friend: she’s lost her son.
Life is such sadness.
Sunday 22 September
Boy cat sleeps hard in
dappled sun through chilli plants.
Study as greenhouse.
