January

New resolution!
walk more, observing nature;
write better haiku.

After days of rain,
sheer delight to greet sunrise
in a cloudless sky.

Composing haiku-
winter walk's contemplation,
counting syllables.

November

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.
