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
