Haiku 10 Poem by Mark Heathcote

brooks iced to go
the mountain is dressed in snow
wow, a bridal dress


setting sun - on fire
a lovers lipstick applied
horizontal - flames


departing petals
the wind raises her many skirts
love is the fabric


one daffodil dances
a lonesome sun courts the clouds
lights starry above


hymnal rivers sing
in echo to the night owls
cars and lorries hoot


a pheasant crouching
tall grasses whisper - take flight
corks elderberry


onions planted in spring
a raft of fool's gold on show
expletive black crows


snowdrops are nodding
Icicles drip, pinpointing spring
school books and prayers


kaleidoscopic skies
honey goblets filled high
open - wild crocus


discarded tit eggs
blue skies with speckled promises
hatchling dreams
