Holiday haiku
by poetrydiary
Butterfly
Morning butterfly
enjoys the warm roadside air
of a late summer.
Autumn
Funnelled clouds point south;
as Autumn falls on tired trees,
birds fly like leaves.
After the storm
This summer morning
damp; a gift from last night’s storm
making grass sparkle.
Kingfisher
Blue rising movement
makes the river-sipping trees
suddenly greener.
Pigeon
Why has that pigeon
followed me to France? Is it
obsessed with humans?
Failure
Setting out in rain
to a final appointment,
Spring was his last hope.

This is a collection of haiku written on holiday earlier this month. (The pigeon haiku refers to a couple I wrote earlier this year).

Ah, diphthongs, are they two or one or and-and-a half syllables 🙂
tired controversy, tired trees makes it harder. What to do about the d followed by t here?
There is something so lovely about a group of haiku forming a poem.
The series of Haiku seem to take account of the mood and the weather, which are both very much related. Our daily lives are influenced so much by what the day has in store for us.
I loved the idea of being followed to France by a pigeon. I can only suspect that the pigeon was in fact en route to a more southerly destination.
I live in the UK and thus my preoccupation with the weather:)

These are all very well done. I especially like the blue rising movement in the Kingfisher one.
A lovely set…I specially like After the Storm and Kingfisher ~
Great to see you writing again ~
These are all lovely, I especially like the kingfisher, you describe his flash of colour so well:)
All of your holiday haikus are very lovely. Great. Best wishes.
