Amid beechen green,
summer sings o'er
the Vale of Health.

Long gone,
but echoing still -
light-winged song.

Dreams passing on,
soft incense drifts
through the boughs.

Yesterday, I went to visit the Sekiguchi Basho-an.

Along this road
Goes no one,
This autumn eve.

😧 Somewhat shockingly, this one breaks a rule about NEVER writing haiku that rhyme. But if I blame the two very delicious glasses of red wine which I've just drunk a little too quickly this evening, maybe just this once we can let this one slip by unnoticed? 😉 ... Cheers! 🍷😁🍷
For a pint of beer -
spinning another yarn

Waves in profusion
hurling white surf

Chatter of pebbles
rolling and receding
