some haiku inspired by clouds and cloudy days

Over the high fells
Every hill has its own cloud
Every tree its shade

(Ullswater August 2007)

*******************

Huge gold sun cloud-crowned
Behind twinkling Runcorn
Crowding birds wing home

(driving home from Liverpool January 2006)

*******************

Through twin trees, harebells -
Carrying clouds shoulder-high
The Ben broods on blue

(Ben Nevis from Loch Eil, August 2005)

*******************

Huddling weather;
Cloud-smoke low in the forest
Breath of nereids

(Conwy Valley October 2004)

*********************

On Bowland summit
Sheep grazing in cloud
Into the unknown

(Bowland fells, Lancashire, August 2004)

********************

Blackcurrant time, dusk -
Sky on fire, mountains on fire,
Leaves scream in the wind

(7th July 2004 – a fierce, strange storm sweeps into Northwest Wales fro SW to NE)

********************

Wales wild under cloud
Sprinkled with sheep, splashed with cows
Green green grass of home

(June 2004)

*******************

Spring mountains muffled
Crouch for warmth over wildfire
Gorse gold is stunning

(Anglesey, April 2004)

*******************

Mountain Seraphim
Hymn in opalescent fire
A Holy sunset

(Snowdonia sunset over Menai Straits, Spring 2003)

*******************

The land is getting
Tall. Mountainous trees. Sheep kneel,
Clouds greet ripe heather

(Into Snowdonia, August 2002)

******************

Cloud-copying peaks -
Vesuvio, Verzasca,
Veils of Everest

(driving to Milan, July 2001 – cloudshapes copying the underlying mountains)
