haiku

morning in May

birds around

none without a decent plan

(AW, May 2026)

 

haiku

late spring coldness

a takeaway coffee

at the charging station

Ascension Day

short and long breaks

between showers

(AW, May 2026)

 

poem

wind and rain

the forecast was right

people walk faster 

on this day in May

the lilac is shaken

much more

is shaken

you know 

what I think about

and birds hide

for good reason

(AW, May 2026)

poem

again life in this river

along its banks

then polluted

in an unacceptable way

now the address "Sir"

as if nothing

had happened

but there is

the willow's 

knowledge

haiku

after the spring rain

these ambitious plants

with all their plans
