an open window

a spider stalking a moth

on a bathroom wall

reading some haiku

from a poet in Ukraine

sirens and swallows

Read her work: http://akitahaiku.com/2022/07/30/haiku-by-vladislava-simonova-in-ukraine-4/

memories of blue

skies, and butterflies, the one

lighting on his arm

tracing the shadows

suffused dawn light creeps across

our watchful faces

after the heat, rain

misty-soft in pearl-grey light

gentle on the eyes

a loud bump below

a shout, hey no-one is hurt,

passing on the lane

our cats still asleep

in a bed of pink flowers

camping out in style

the heat continues

in the forest’s deep shadows

even the earth sweats
