Haiku #15 Snake

Snake

Black, sleek and deadly

The snake slithers silently

Through the grass – evil!

Haiku #14 Seagulls

Raucous screeching gulls

Fight over scraps thrown by

Indulgent people.

Haiku #13 Rainbow

Raindrops and sunshine

Cause colours to go sliding

Across the grey clouds.

Haiku #12 Ocean Waves

Crashing, roaring waves
Thunder on the beach; they pound
My ears –  deafening!

Haiku #11 Kingfisher

A flash of sky-blue

Sears across my dazzled eyes –

The kingfisher dives.
