Andrew Hide: Haiku

Spring sun--
tree tops water
their roots	church bells
	among gifts--
	a bride's hand
winter orchard--
fruitless
except for bird song	in the bay
	tugging at its anchor--
	the sun
CRUNCH!!
two snails--
one homeless

Andrew Hide lives in Cornwall, England with his wife and five daughters who along with the surrounding landscape which is a rugged peninsula in the south-west, a land where nature still seems to have the upper hand, are the inspiration for much of his poetry.

He writes: "In my mind I'm a story writer but in my heart I'm a poet. I like to experiment with writing, not just style but subject as well. My hope is that I will be able to inject the emotion and feeling to bring the written word to life as others have done."

His Poetry Homepage includes many types of poetry including a special section on Asian forms.
