Grey

The colour of tempests -
skies split by lghtning
Rain in sheets and waves

The colour of a trunk
Gentle enough to pluck a flower
Strong enough to uproot a tree

The colour of the Belfast sea
Washing over the Giants' Causeway
Steely waves breaking on the shore

The colour of my mood
When my day has not gone
Quite as I had wished

Haiku on grey

The trunk deft enough
To pluck a flower
And uproot a tree
