Today's poet

[Hes]

Thanks Mossy. Think I found the only bushes that had lost their flowers...very poignant, trying not to take it too personally!

That's a lovely autumnal haiku Hes, and again, so well observed. I think there's an old saying which goes something like....'the kissing will stop when the gorse stops flowering...' meaning never!

[Hes]

I really like this IDP, especially the middle line. Good to read a fell running haiku again. Well done on the run too.

Rab Mountains conquered
Though bitter was the night
Joy at the finish

[Hes]

a watchful buzzard
resigned to the disturbance
languidly takes off

(nice moorland motorbike ride back from physio. He was semi-impressed with my one-legged squats but thinks my left buttock is still disappointing )

[Hes]

a whir of finches
the hedge sparks with red and gold
brightening the mist

[IanDarkpeak]

On a different note:

raindrop encrusted
once invisible cobwebs
grace the bloomless gorse

I really like this IDP, especially the middle line. Good to read a fell running haiku again. Well done on the run too.

Ta Hes I like your as well.

Funnily enough my daughter has come home and her home work is on ....

yes haikus, she had to write one with "Shine" in and since the garden has been draped in Dew she wrote this....(with a bit of help)

Glistening raindrops
Shine like fireworks on green grass
Early morning dew

Love it IDP. Tell her very well done :thumbup:

That is a wonderful observation. They do often look resigned when they to have to fly off to another perch.

I'll refrain from commenting on your left buttock. I'll only get into trouble!

"Disapointing left buttock" is a healthy 7-syllable mid-haiku possibility mind you. Now let me think...

Whir of finches is a wonderful line too.

migrating geese skein
coastwards bound for the winter
Pink-footed tourists

What a great bit of homework to have to do. We should pick a word too and send everyone off for 24 hours to think of a haiku with the word.....erm......."fleece"

Feel free to ignore the suggestion if you think it is pants.
