First Ever Haiku (sentimental moment) - Birdsong

Today I went for my first run (jog really) for a year, following an Achilles strain and knee injury last year. I have my special insoles now and the trainers seemed to be OK. I will see how the legs feel tomorrow... I can now only run on grass to protect my joints but running around a field in the park is good enough for me.

On returning I felt refreshed albeit very warm. It is so muggy today. I have just been browsing through a very ancient journal of mine which contains drafts of my first writing started in 2004. Ten years ago seems like forever but when I look through at the roughs, I can see a pattern that I prefer short stories and I have some material there that I am currently working through. At the back of the notebook I had written my very first haiku (2005). I thought it deserved putting on here...

Beautiful chatter

echoing in stereo;

deafening at dawn.
