Young geese on the wing,
testing hard their flight feathers;
instinct forms a vee.
Summer leaves frosted;
autumn's orange pumpkins
last off the kitchen plot.
Misty morning dew
droplets form on spider webs
-meadow jewellery.
Pull the curtains tight
throw a big log on the fire;
winter is coming.
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.
