Haiku Poet
I was recently contacted by a writer from North Wales, Clive Bennet describes himself as a ‘haiku poet’ and asked permission to use one of my paintings to illustrate a haiku about long tailed tits.
This is the result:
Travellers Joy – Cameos of Birdlife #3
The frost today is everywhere – a heavy hoar frost covering the fields and hedgerows; all a sparkle in the early morning winter sun. In the hedgerow, a restless, roving party of Long Tailed Tit weave through frosted beards.
“bumbarrel roving through the hedge travellers joy”
