Split green spiny pod-
chestnut gleam within reveals
summer is over
The haw is blushing;
dew glistens on morning grass.
Autumn is coming.
Amongst field stubble
a single fallen feather-
pheasant season soon!
Kitchen scents compete
chutney, jelly, jam and soup;
autumn's edible!
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.
