Days 21 to 26??

OMG...slap my wirists and cover me with chocolate...I have been so busy with course work, not a chance to do my daily haikus. so here are 4 to help catch up


Line by line we sit
a double row of strangers;
Creation sparks.

Metal container
Locked, litter strewn around;
Recycling centre?

A woman screams in
The night as law is broken;
A PCs duty

Woods are wild and spare
The promise of spring to come;
Squirrels raid their stores.

And I must make more effort in future......

Days 18, 19, 20

well ..I just get too busy.......

so 3 haikus to play catch up

Time drips, slips and streams
away into the past tense;
Grammar cannot stop it.

Twigs woven into
precarious home for new life;
Hope springs eternal

Litter swirls, eddies
lifts and twists, dancing with leaves;
Partners in the street

Day 17

its like counting the days of your jail sentence.....

Naff turquoise carpet
cream walls, fluorescent lights;
Doctor's waiting room

Lets say its Day 16

So? I lost track thats all. Been busy again today- up to see my aged mother, who inspired this haiku. Hope they are getting more kosher as I practise, although I realise that this is not strictly speaking a haiku- its something else beginning with 's' that I cant remember 'cos its about emotions not seasons...



Faded memories
Forgotten dreams, lost hopes;
Old age is deadly.

Day..OMG Ive lost track

Knew it....knew I wouldnt get here everyday. Ah well. Traumatic few days...mother ill, auntie died and son gone away travelling for 9 months..boo hoo hoo. My life as a woman....

so only a haiku for today and perhaps if inspiration hits I might fill in the gaps...


Dusk, rush hour traffic
chaos, rivers of lights flood
Swans cruise overhead

Day 14

Couldnt get in here yesterday...was there a fault or something?

No matter - what was yesterday's is now todays!!


Red wine, deep and rich
Violet overtones shine
Grape from the old world

Day 13

Oooo..shiver shiver...an Artic freeze on the way. 52 people died so far in Europe with this bast of chill. Brrrrrrrrr.....

Now I know most of my haikus to date were probably not proper haiku, so perhaps this one is better?

Laden skies snow bound
The dogs shiver in the wind -
Warm fires welcome me.
