call of the hoopoe
singing away
through diverse weather
he shall stay
in the spring
she will have eggs to lay
in my garden blissfully
together peacefully

Haiku Toads
spring is in the air
rain falls, then stops falling here.
toads mating outside
Haiku Plum Blossom
spring is in the air
now the bees have woken up
to the plum blossom
Grey Days
Grey days
lead to contemplation
to find a place
when sunny days have gone
where the weather warmed the soul
as the heart beats freely
that feeling of spring
when autumn days have come
to darken the horizon
as winter is here again
BBQ
Today is the day
for having a bbq,
the weather is lovely
and so will be the food.
All meats marinated
chicken, pork ribs and steak
kebabs, king prawn skewers
garlic bread, potatoes salad
beans, sweetcorn
food grilled to perfection
with that signature barbecue taste.

fly away home
always reaching
new destinations
the call of spring rings true
as do the leaves of autumn
when summer has gone
and winter has come
parting of the ways
leave behind sweet memories
of bygone days
Roses
In springtime they flower
In summertime they bloom
In autumn they fall
In winter they are gone
Butterflies
butterflies in love
on a spring morning
dancing across the garden
colours of orange and brown
a playful unison
natures way of saying
I love you
Birds
if we could talk to birds
what would they say
would it be the arrival of spring
each twittering chatter
a whistle or two
heading into summer
such commotion
and synchronicity
as we fall into autumn
are they still with us
the weather becoming colder
in winter time
All your years
As I sit alone
thoughts cross my mind,
a kaleidoscope of memories.
Cherish those
while they still remain,
as spring
fades into autumn—
may they last you
all your years.
