Four Haiku Poems
Caged
Lovebird in a cage,
sees the people come and go.
Longing to be free.
Tiger, Tiger
Piercing amber eyes,
regarding me, unblinking,
deep within the trees.
Windmill
The sails are dormant
on the still afternoon air.
Suddenly a breeze.
Stepping Stones
A ribbon of rocks
bridges the two river banks.
I can come and go.
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.
