Haikus

Feeble attempts, but I quite enjoy writing them! Laughing


Fuchsia

Bashful and blushing,

Mrs Popple turns away            (note: 'Mrs Popple' is another name for a Fuchsia)

From a teasing breeze.


Window frost

Embracing the glass,

Catching newborn sun rays,

Silver frost ferns gleam.


Sea side

Watch the sea frolic

Gently tickling sombre rocks,

Caressing the sand.

They are very straight forward. Haikus often get so incredibly metaphorically it's hard to understand them, but these are very clear. I like them.

Really liked the last. It has a real sense of fun about it. Perhaps not quite as simple as F thought. 
 
All the best, Phil.

Agree with Phil - I particularly like the last of these - has a lot of resonances for me. Great stuff
