As winter's end nears,
Spring raises its weary head,
A sigh of new life.

Christmas lights glisten,
As the train pulls into town.
Shimmering beacons,
Welcoming a needed break,
And unburdening the mind.

An outburst of sound,
A train of thought is derailed.
Intentions to write,
Sabotaged by distraction.
Frustrated by my own brain.

A pint of Guinness,
And a chat with steadfast friends.
Smoking and drinking,
Whilst setting the world to rights.
It's not home, but good enough.

It's just over there,
Distant, on the horizon.
A glimmer of light.

A break from the norm,
Escaping the daily grind.
Such welcome respite.
Like rain washing away dust,
Reaching deep to coax new life.

The empty suitcase,
Heavy with expectation,
Eager to take flight.

Lumpy, heavy, and
Unmanageably awkward -
Suitcase full of spuds.

The highs and the lows,
Elation and misery,
We travel onwards.
Enduring the bleak valleys,
To enjoy the peak's vista.

Too much time is spent,
Striving for the pinnacle.
Harsh self-imposed goals,
That lead to disappointment.
We miss the wood for the trees.

A sinking cruise ship,
Wealthy travellers panic,
As water rises.
Yet in the dining room tank,
A lobster waits. Freedom calls.

Late night in Romford.
Cars murmur lazily past,
Unlike the robin.
Whose song calls vibrant and clear,
Defying the urban sprawl.

Unearthed photographs.
Windows into times long past,
Wreathed in amber hues.

Awake far too late
Sleep stuttering and fitful.
Awake too early.

New site and account,
Pastures grim to pastures green.
Return to Haiku.
