Gulls frost

gulls against the frost -
known only
by their shadows

winter sunlight

radiant sunlight
in flood water
a splinter of the liquid core

flood water

half submerged
in flood water
the hollowed out shell of tree trunks

morning light

in the soft
amber glow of morning light
the deer in silhouette

ice

shroud of ice
slowly dissolving
in the rising sun

Gulls Clould Snow

against grey clouds
and driving snow
gulls pass -
a bright shadow

At New Year

hold my hand
and lets step into the grey
together

At St Seiriol's Well

months later
and hundreds of miles away
I’m still drawing from St Seiriol’s Well

Remembrance Haiku

dawn - war memorial
haloed with frost
poppies and candlelight

November Haiku

late November dawn
full moon
an early Christmas light

Two Autumn Haiku

a chandelier
of red Japanese
Maple


a cascade
of red Japanese
Maple

October Haiku

autumn woods
reverberating



among the fallen leaves
the glow of the setting sun



autumn twilight
upon golden leaves
we walk upon the sun




the river
shrivels grey and wrinkled -
autumn twilight

A Silence

glutinous silence
then thunder
barrelling the sky
