As Yet Unused

These haiku are yet to be used.

Broken syringes

Wreak of Afghani fields

Creation is lost

 —

Four moons in the west

The eagle and the huntress

Prepare for battle

 —

Hard stone, Pennine grit

Earth gives up its solid past

Old feet passed this way

 —

Bland clouds carry rains

Finger bone tree holds no leaves

A storm closes in

 —

Eastern hill sun rise

Two lonely pylons stand still

The day has begun

 —

Paved track cuts damp peat

Across a wild open moor

Leading to the coast

 —

Granite guardian

Marking the passage of ships

Against the sea's rage

 —

Death in the sunshine

A pristine white wall bloodied

And it still goes on

 —

Back garden feeder

Inundated by dunnocks

Wildlife is real life

 —

Full moon, misted air

Barn owls call, barn owls respond

On a silent night

 —

Dark storm clouds threaten

Coble on a wrecking sea

Gulls circle, restless

 —

Through a glass window

Goldfinch, blackbird and sparrow

Witter endlessly

 —

White spottings of snow

Drifting in a hard cold wind

Across a wild moor

 —

Walking through spring trees

Moonset over the north lands

Searching for the day

 —

Unblemished smooth sand

Footprints written yesterday

Gone to meet the past

 —

Wind drifts on the Ouse

Sun shines on the nest making

Songs float on the air

 —

Voices dance in threes

Passers by pass on by

A waltz in two four

 —

Five sentinels stand

Observing time's passage

Waiting for the sun

 —

Giants whirl their arms

Taking goodness from the air

Feathers from the wind

 —

In fields of rapeseed

She lies in her nakedness

Awaiting the end
