Nature versified.
Haikus from the year gone by
To enjoy or not.
Cryptic and not
Grasshoppers blend in;
Busy ants don’t care at all
If you see them there

Ants
Mountainous thunder
Sends ants scuttling to their nest.
Seeds await the wind
Ants again – Reverse Haiku
Ants, sensing distant thunder,
Scuttle to their nest,
While seeds pods wait for the wind.

Aphids
Aphids are so cool.
Three generations, making
One clonal body

Raucous Rooks
Starkly black on blue.
Rudely cawing rooks disturb
My morning coffee
15 February 2018
Raucous rooks railing.
Sable, swooping, skyward sailing,
Disturb my morning

Mountain
Sunny Canigou,
Snowy peak shining brightly.
Winter in Vinca

Malham Tarn
Rising from the rain
Summer mist, slowly rolling,
Hides Malham Tarn

Prunella
Commonly overlooked,
Elastically plastic;
Purple Prunella

Four Brothers?
Four trees in a row
Standing smallest to tallest.
What is their story?
