The good weather is about to break here in Scotland – a couple of haiku to suit…
Hollyhock
A boxer’s weaving
amidst bumblebees’ fussing –
hollyhocks nod, nod.
Hill
A grey carapace
forming over vale and hill –
weather breaking soon.

Thanks Chris! Had to fish this out of spam weirdly!
I am so pleased that you put me back… hmm, spam, very bad.
