Exhaustion; yearning

to be in summer sun but

much to catch up with

dissatisfaction

is the order of the day;

uneasy for me

how food is prepared 

means more than presentation;

like us, it needs love

baking bread is a 

warm scent that lingers on the 

summer air here

sending emails, wait

in vain for positive 

reply; still waiting

one month before the 

Solstice, the wind is still

cool; heat hesitates

14th May 2012

fierce sun and cool wind

do an English summer make;

so variable!

summer sqall briefly

passes, sun and rain combined;

last month's weather now

ongoing stress, it's

not good at all, tiring, so

frustrating; work, hey?

warm wind of Summer

buffets hedge and tree, dropping

confetti-blossom

like a slow, cool drink

are your messages to me;

steadfast, friendly, true

thick scent of trumpet 
flowers assault my nostrils;
yellow, rich, heavy

24th April 2012

grey veiling cloud mists
the morning sky, threatening 
rain that does not fall

stretching, releasing
from a firm centre strong, I 
work out; Pilates

the flat brown winter
trees become dimensional
as their leaves unfurl

12th April 2012

oak trees frame the path
opposite; heather borders 
of spring green and mauve

10th April 2012

absorbing colours
scents, sounds within a garden
of Kentish design

5th April 2012

silver birch unfolds
bright green leaves that drift in the 
pleasant, balmy breeze

3rd April 2012

inbetween greyness
neither hot nor cold; weather
is indecisive

Haiku 2-29

wind lifted clouds, high

above the far sea, reveal

the landscape again
