5 Haiku by Kevin Cowdall

Flying Fish

Clouds are reflected
on the pond’s glassy surface.
Fish fly through the sky.


Full Sail

With all sails set full,
your ship flies across the sea.
I wait here for you.


Seal

Basking in the sun,
a seal alone with its thoughts.
Silence all around.


Northern Lights

Wavering ribbons,
dancing in the northern sky.
Nature’s own light show.


Swan Feather

Gracefully drifting
on a gentle summer breeze
across the still pond.

Kevin Cowdall was born in Liverpool, England, where he still lives and works. In all, over 300 of Kevin’s poems have been published in journals, magazines, and anthologies, and on web sites, in the UK and Ireland, across Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Canada, and the USA, and broadcast on BBC Radio, RTÉ Radio, Ireland, and local radio stations across the UK. His 2016 retrospective collection, Assorted Bric-à-brac brought together the best from three previous collections (The Reflective Image, Monochrome Leaves, and A Walk in the Park) with a selection of newer poems). His most recent collection, Natural Inclinations, features fifty poems with a common theme of the natural world. His poem for children, The Land of Dreams, was published on the Letterpress Project website, wonderfully illustrated by Chris Riddell, and is available on YouTube.
