Blow cold winds of truth
The new dawn cannot be stopped
Open eyes will see

Haiku: ‘Cold Winds’
Tag: wind
Haibun: ‘Washing Day’
I hang out the washing,
impatiently pegging
to save time.
Then I sit, fritter and daydream,
watching the wind toss the duvet
of my sleepless night,
pillow cases bellow in panic attack,
before the sudden lashing rain
insists I scamper outside.
Elements changing
Thrashing meandering thoughts
Nature’s clue unsaid

‘Avenging Wind’ a Poem
The wind strikes once more,
he’s tossing washing lines
and turning trees,
threatens to strip the ripe colour
which makes the season tolerable.
I wonder what’s made him so fierce:
He’s giving me glimpses of winter,
the lockdowns imposed,
when stepping outside
becomes a crime, where
the only feature will be the trash
blown starkly down our street

The wind is howling
Pantiles rattle on the roof
Still my gentle breath

Haiku: Acceptance
Who’s scared of the wind?
There is nothing you can do
Bend and accept
