stillness all around
the air so heavy and damp
cut off from the world

bathing us in orange light

comfort of a sleeping dog

rain begins to fall
a soft mist enveloping
autumn comes nearer

skeletons of decaying leaves:

skeletons outlined
fallen leaves onto soil
echo of past lives

Haiku about cabin fever with a broken toe - I can’t go anywhere except my garden.

broken foot dragging
hobbling around the garden
flowers still in bloom

Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire, UK

purpose still unknown
ancient and immutable
standing stones circle

No photo for this haiku I'm afraid, just the state of my garden this year.

green and colour merge
weeds and flowers together
neglected garden

haiku about a calla lily

graceful arc of white
enfolding nectar within
simple and perfect
