Ginkyo Tree


A Ginkyo tree is an ancient relic, a survivor from times when man did not exist. It is an appropriate name for a site that seeks to capture the nature about us, and to keep man in perspective in that nature.

I've set this site up to cache my Haiku, which I've been writing on and off for thirty years. For those of you who don't know the verse form, it is Japanese and an ancient genre. Composed of three lines of five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables, Haiku are written in the present tense, refer to nature and are set in seasonal context.

Spring walks with my dog.
Test River, fields and valley
-great Haiku moments!

Woodland floor in spring,
daffodils supplant snowdrops.
Hurry- bluebells soon!

Old black dog, long gone.
Passing his favourite spots
tears come, unbidden.

Grey lag geese return,
calls jarring the dawn chorus
-spring cacophony!

Swirling morning mist,
a grey form solidifies-
the watchful heron!

Sharp frost at midnight
daffodils prostrate at dawn
when will spring arrive?
