Photo Haiku

  • Alone

    A single deer stands
    Posing, alone in the woods.
    Who needs company?

    Morning walks in Wollaton Park often bring atmospheric results, and deer in unexpected places. I have yet to see deer in the lake, which they take to quite frequently, but it is always a delight to tuen corner to find a solitary stag hiding in plain sight.


  • Darkness

    Deep in the shadows
    Wary angels fear to tread.
    Ghouls and spooks hiding.

    Hopefully not too late for Halloween, I resisted the temptation to add in ghosts and bats.


  • Spiralling

    Ascend or descend?
    A spiral of confusion.

    I am not sure what it is, but I do know where it is. But I am really pleased that I have discovered that photo haiku is a real thing, not just somethnig I decided to do because I am useless at long poems. It is recognised in Japan, and has a name – Shahai. There is even a UK society for it, and competitions.
    However, I remain a non-club person, so I won’t be joining, though I might check it out to see what I should be doing.
