"Morning Visitor" haiku



Braving hungry cats
And storm tossed waving bamboo
Morning visitor

This is the first bird to visit my back yard in over a week since the last cat attack which killed one of my beloved sparrows.
I wish people would keep their cats in or fit them with a collar and a bell.
A very heavy bell!

"It's That Sort of Day" haiku



It's that sort of day
When the rain travels sideways
Winter starts early

Chinese Seasons "Frost Descends" haiku



The scent of Jasmine
In my small concrete back yard
Autumn Frost Descends

"Summer Sunshine" tanka




The summer sunshine
Melting the tar on the roads
Friendly neighbours pass

Sunblock wafts upon the air
The pigeons are still cooing

"Mountain Airs" haiku



Pilgrim soul weary
Burned dry by the summer sun
Dreams of Mountain airs
