Haiku--By Ralph Stott--England

eco-bag in a tree
wind-flap sounds of a
prayer flag
_______________

winter weeds
in a herb garden
aromatic fingers
_______________

apple tree logs in a hearth
a song bird sings
from a chimney
_______________

day greets night
silhouetted poplar trees
five-high

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.
