"Transatlantic Flight" a tanka

Transatlantic flight
Too high to be seen or heard
But she leaves a clue

Painted across the heavens
As she speeds towards the dawn

"Maiden's Blush" a haiku

 Storm clouds blow away
Revealing a maiden's blush
On our horizon

"Morning's Light" a tanka

 Morning's early light
Ignores the sleeping Dragon
But shines down upon

The Lizard's windmills
And Goonhilly's listening ears

"Storm Clouds" a haiku

Storm clouds gather
The sea takes on strange colours
Winter creeps closer

"Funeral"

The Church bell behind the chimney
Tolls
Pealing far and wide
Another Brother or Sister gone
The chimneys sit silently
Watching the souls of the dead arise

"Wet Today"

The clocks say
Morning has broken
But my eyes deny it
More like zero dark thirty
And the post lady's boots
Are going to be wet today

"Are You There?"

The blue horizon
Calls me yonder
Beneath one single streak
Of fire.... above my head
It makes me wonder
Are you still out there?

"Mist" a gogyoshi

 The mist kisses the windows
And the sun is but a rumour
Or a secret told shyly

From wet roof to wet rooftop
And chimney to chimney pot
