X18 bus Amble to Newcastle

This set of haiku were written on an Arriva bus journey I took on the 03/03/19

Water tower stands

Gathering the autumn rains

For the future now

 —

Harvesting the winds

The white colossus, erect

Speaking to the sky

  —

Continuous fence

Imprisoned eyes stare blankly

Wild grey clouds float free

  —

An ancient yew tree

English churchyard, cawing crows

Spring nibbles the stones

  —

A thousand year oak

Stands in a much older land

Trapped by modern ways

  —

Just a market town

History was builded here

It is long forgot
