MEDITATIONS ON NATURE
I have been writing Haiku whilst in hospital, taking my mind back to nature. Here are a selection of both Spanish and English nature haiku.
rest by sacred Oak
soul eased by tree energy
at home in green woods
velvet night, silence
cloaks village, jabali roam,
root buried almonds
eagle loops earthward
casts wingspan on roof terrace
soars to dot in sky
stalking hunter pads
blood oozes on virgin snow
cat licks crimson paw
in stillness spot red
robins hop, blue tits hover,
coal blackbirds squabble
golondrinas swoop
in mudspit caves under eaves,
hungry heads peak out
garden birds flutter
to hedgerows, wiry squirrel,
brush curled, raids the nuts
creep along marsh dyke
snow feathered egrets arise
cloud fans aqua sky
marsh egret escapes
black reed sticks hop the shore line
saffron feet dance the waves
salt flats shimmer pink
flamingos strut, loop bowed necks
jet dipped bills sift shrimp
dream in restless sleep
skimming wave froth hazed in gold,
mind freed on sea breeze.
