hilltop abbey
a midsummer mass
of fireflies
Acorn 40, Spring 2018
bottle digging
by the derelict jetty
long summer night
Modern Haiku 46.3, Autumn 2015
overhanging ledge the loneliness of wind
Frogpond 37.3, Spring-Summer 2014
distant hill
a swallowtail butterfly
obscures the view
for dad
the smaller cairn
on the summit
Frogpond 39.3, Autumn 2016
the distance between us trawler gulls
young coppice
my father's stick taps
footpath gravel
suicide forest
empty shoes
point west
coming down once more winter rain
Acorn 37, Fall 2016
on the heath
catching grasshoppers
summer slips away
Acorn 34, Spring 2015
wild pear
the bitter taste
of loneliness
Acorn 35, Fall 2015
still bustling
with noisy goldeneye
disused jetty
sunrise over rocks
shadows in the shallow bay
a day is dying
Poetry Nook 2, October 2013
rutting season
from the old coppice
a stag's silence
Presence 55, 2016
