A Series of Donegal Bay Haiku


I've seldom used the haiku format; however, not having a prolonged piece of poetry to mind but having some impressions on scenes I come across every day, haiku suddenly appeared to be a very useful choice. So, here then is my 'bash' at haiku.


Showers in the bay,

unfurled clouds their sails

the Killybegs Regatta.


Oystercatchers hunched

searching for shell fish

are spattered ink on a page.


The white cloud is clinging

to the mountainside

as tight as unwashed hair.


The oystercatchers

that were flecks on the strand

take to flight chevron shaped.


A hail shower

extends upward into cumulus

atomic bomb.
