tiger striped spider

on her web masterpiece

blowing in the wind

lone rook in rowan tree

looks at Lough Atalia –

what does it see?

scent of sweet pea

embroidery

of flowers

Silver salver moon,

a tea tray to teapot earth –

who shall be mother

(First published in the World Haiku Review, Vol. 6, Issue 3, May 2008)

Spider lace window

of the holiday hut…

end of season

Light axis descends…

the long reach of daylight hours

releases – solstice

Even the cooker

needs a hot water bottle!

hoar frost this morning

June afternoon

ants searching for food

on the tiled bathroom wall

Beach lady

and a baggy T-shirt

embracing yoga

Sycamore seeds fall –

helicopters twirling on

their maiden voyage

gorse alight!

the hillside gasping

for water

sundown –

the slag-heap disappears

by getting bigger

autumn rain –

bare back Slievenamon

hibernating beneath a veil

amber lit paths

littered with leaves –

days shrinking

rainbow –

finding gold on sea walls

spotted with lichen

on Dolymount Bridge –

summer winds and rain lashing

against the grain

no gulls today –

wind from the village carries

the screech of cars

bog grasses in the evening – 

a seagull

absorbs the light

monastic high cross –

on one arm, a robin,

on another, the moon

spring dew

on a spider's web –

communion veil

shop window –

sparkling in the dark,

Orion’s reflection

bloodhound

running on all fours

and a nose

beach sunrise

the fog returns

a dog's bark

summer meadow –

the sea breeze

hushed by lark song

seaside excursion –

sand in the bath

this evening
