Air and Angle | Haiku

Poetry, Uncategorized 1 Minutes

It’s a still day, shrouded in mist here in the west of Scotland. Haikus as follows:

Air

A stillness. Air hangs

Wreathed and ribboned, damp in the

Gloaming, darkling eve.

Angle

Bright white lunar smile

Angled in the blue-mauve sky.

Low-slung stars winking.
