Haiku Part 2, and Some Houskeeping

Earlier this month, I posted 15 haiku as part of one of my goals on The List.

Now we're at the end of the month, here are the final 15.


16/06/14
Beady-eyed huntsman
Lures worm when his clever feet
Imitate rainfall

17/06/14
The sun became shy
Hiding behind her grey cloak
Until after noon

18/06/14
Such diligent toil
Summer’s handiwork faulty
Time is not regained

19/06/14
Pedalling harder
Unmoving but progressing
Stationary bike



20/06/14
Frail head nods in breeze
Eye opens: sunny showers
Blue petals unfurl

21/06/14
A slow abrasion
Mild chafing against soft flesh
New sandals that rub



22/06/14
Chattering voices
A hundred wings soar skyward
Black rooks on thermal

(A whole heap of birds roost in the trees nearby. 
See a little video of them here


23/06/14
Inhale and exhale
Carefully check each angle
Does my butt look big?

24/06/14
Clouded is the mind
Head heavy in the day’s heat:
Thundery weather



25/06/14
Butterflies flutter
Green meadows nod lazily
Ah! A dragonfly!

26/06/14
Spectrum of grey clouds
Remain motionless in sky
Dull shroud over sun

27/06/14
Steady flowing plume
White ash falls, grey smoke rises
The scent of incense

28/06/14
Thunderclap awake
Hot sun fades to dark rainclouds
Welcome to Britain

29/06/14
Sunny summer breeze
Anchored colours dance and dry--
Laundry on the line

30/06/14
All tools set aside
Worker reclines with triumph
Project completed


I can now cross this goal off The List!
025. Write 1 haiku per day for 1 month
Hurrah!

Along with the haiku, I have also been writing...
046. Write 10 original stories of 1000+ words (NaNoWriMo does not count)
And painting...
055. Create 52 paintings in 1 year
The two have ended up being linked, as I wrote several stories and am painting pictures to go with them!
I have other paintings done this year, but have yet to post them. I will do this soon!
