High-tide waves buffeting the battered prom.

Blue, blue sky...

After the wild wind and rain,

calm.

My battered garden.

Neighbour’s cherrytree waving dusky pink blossom years after she died.

Spring, season of firsts... the too early bluebell surprises us

Tiny overnight raindrops jewelling delicate branches in the morning light.

Suddenly St David's Day. Yellow daffodils smiling and nodding everywhere

Even in this cold the grass grows under moonlit skies.

After the rain, bands of silver-blue sea and sky

First blackthorn, pale as a daisy,

shy in the hedgerow

Drizzle, early morning,

a goldfinch in the hedgerow my reward

Blue patches of sky, birds sing, the sun breaks through.

Endless cobalt sky forgets the winter. An icy wind remembers...

Helen 

Snowdrops getting fatter and brighter under these cold February skies.

A year rolls around,

sharp shoots strike green from the earth

these threshold moments

Helen...

Snowdrop miracle

Closes this year of Haiku

With promise of Spring

Janey...

Rose, cobalt, lemon

and everywhere, indigo,

colouring my world

Helen ...

Dark losing its grip

On these mornings which lighten

Minute by minute

72 micro-seasons 70

Janey

Harbingers of spring -

the snowdrops eluded me

until yesterday

Helen 

Small bright green spears pierce

This cold wet earth, which fractures

Gradually, slow.

 Janey...

A rain-splatter, then

a sparkling mackerel sky

welcomes in our day

Helen...

First thing, tangled rose,

all higgledy-piggledy - 

pruning has calmed her

72 micro-seasons 68

Janey ...

Twigs hung with diamonds

in the frosty morning sun -

truly I am rich

Helen...

I tread gingerly -

An icy sheen on the road -

Pink sky, sparkling sun.

72 micro-seasons 67

Janey...

Dazzling white strikes blue

to my unaccustomed eyes -

sparkling sapphire world

Helen ...

Collies, damp cattle;

Cold river of black and white 

Flowing down the road.

72 micro-seasons 66

Janey 

The year crashes in -

rain and wind and sun. Meanwhile 

the robins and sparrows

Helen Hutchinson

Ice on the greenhouse -

I breathe in deep this New Year -

A tiny wren hops.
