WINTER AFFIRMATION
cold and bright an azure sky
frames the slender masts
affirming light in winter.

BEYOND THE EQUINOX
these dark mobile clouds
racing through the autumn sky
as the soft light fades
Picture taken, 6.55 pm, 27 September, sunset in Gloucester, England.

A NEW DAY
the pink clouds of this dawn
illuminate a waiting day:
welcome rain may fall.

BIRDS ON A BOARD
Birds together on a board
Sitting as silent companions
On their water margin retreat.

EVENING IMAGES 14 JUNE
Flowers and a painted wall
Direct us to the park:
People, space, and clouds.

HAIKU: 7.50PM 9 MAY 2025
beyond the May blue sky,
a waxing gibbous moon:
below, evening shadows spread.

A MAY’S EVE GIFT
Such casual abundance
In each passing moment:
A May’s Eve gift.

GREYFRIARS PRIORY HAIKU

this weathered arch

Birch bark beauty
Between earth and sky,
Greeting another winter.

ELAINE KNIGHT: HAIKU
Tick Tock sounds the clock
Marking the passage of Time
As does the silence.
It is a calendar month since Elaine came home from the Gloucester Royal hospital, after her hip fracture in Gran Canaria on 11 April (1). She is slowly recovering, but still housebound.
Two days before her accident I attended a meeting that signed off on a collection of poetry by local writers (2) to which we had both contributed. Elaine’s haiku below is part of that collection.
