A couple of grey and moody haiku in a grey and moody Scotland…

A high resolution, moody image of a barren mountain above a small town. The picture has an air of cold and isolation.

Peak

Windborne bite brought down

from barren crag and sharp peaks.

Cold razors through street.

A hill hidden under wreathes of cloud.

Parabola

Glutinous grey swell

blanketed under low cloud.

Smooth parabolas.
