Haiku--By Ralph Stott--England

fading rainbow
into the sky
these paraquets

stargazing
aroma of
earth

into the wind
shopping bag
with salmon
_____________

a railway station
between fields
a crow looks both ways
_____________

persistent rain
still the drip-drip from my
peaked cap

Ralph Stott was born in Kent, England in 1957. He is married and has two daughters.  He studied design at the Medway College of Design in the mid-70's. Expressing ideas through the written/visual media, has always interested him. Ralph began to dedicate more time to poetry with The Writers and Poetry Alliance, in particular the 'Stylists' forum, over the last 3 years. He has self published one book called Legends For Lunchtime; a collection of short stories and has a second book pending called The Sounding.

  3. Thank you both for your kind comments. Castle Cary in England's west-country, is just fields and a station, to the untrained eye! Ralph.
