Fairway and Forth | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

Vandals and vanity today in a couple of haiku…

A molehill set amidst lush grass.

Fairway

Mulchy eruptions

Pockmarking fairways and lawns –

Velvet-nosed vandals.

A tree bud covered in hoar frost

Forth

Winter’s bud, coddled

Through stiff hoarfrost and hard rain,

Finally bursts forth.
