Summer Haiku - Owen Bullock - Bog

These haiku were written over three summers, camping on our piece of land near Waihi in Aotearoa New Zealand, and, for contrast, one winter sojourn there in our newly-built gypsy wagon. The land is bordered by the Mataura stream-which means 'red face'. We call the place 'Land of the shining stream' or 'River's edge'.
