Dawn - ready for Wales
Through the fog a blackbird sings
Dusk - rain-drenched welcome
Slate-grey granite cliffs
Wind-blown gorse. Trees bent double
Pembrokeshire unchanged
Sirens sounds. Lifeboat launched.
Blue skies, blue seas, gulls wheeling,
No call-outs today.
Graptolites on slate
Three hundred million years
Waiting for daylight
Sunset in Porthgain
Fifty years spent visiting
With friends, not much’s changed
* This year I resolved to at least write a haiku everyday, even if I don’t manage to write anything else! I spent a couple of days this March catching some rare rays of sunshine in Pembrokeshire - known as Sir Benfro in Welsh.
