February ’14 Haikus.
By C. J. Black.

Glistening in sunlight
Passing mansions on a hill
Bankers’ paradise.

Weather beaten face
Cursing the winter weather
Seeking sheltered spot.

In the church of God
Our petitions wing their way
Silently give praise.

Feel the winter chill
Mercury is dropping fast
The larder is bare.

Watch the child at play
Beware of your surroundings
Showing little fear.

On the trail of haikus
A most relaxing past time
Ideas abound.

Attach the dogs lead
Early constitutional
Good hangover cure.

Had my coffee fix
Time for early morning swim
Feeling full of beans.

Heard from far off hills
The sound of music playing
Amber nectar flows.

Compose a haiku
Not the easiest of tasks
One day I’ll succeed.

  Why thank you Baldy great to hear from you, hope you and yours are keeping well – continue to enjoy your posts, I have a lot of catching up to do as I have been pre-occupied over the past number of months – the writing also slowed down quite considerably which probably was not a bad thing as I was losing the run of myself consequently imposing myself on the residents of Blogsville.
  Chris.

    Dear sir, always good to hear from you, likewise, my imput has been somewhat lacking due to pressing matters in life etc. I find it difficult to keep up with everyone and am always discovering new talents that are a joy to read and interact with. You know I admire your writing and particular style. Keep smiling and keep writing, sincere best wishes from baldy:)
