with every dig
of my spade
a robin follows

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.
The soft watercolour style gives the overall picture a gentle and dreamy touch.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

A poem in the style of a sonnet, that I have called: The Treasure, inspired by the mastoprompt for the 10th October 2025, Variable

Aching trees creak together in the wind
Festooned between them hang garlands and vines
The green hammock bobs slowly like a spring
Sleepy hand holds empty bottle of wine

The warm air carries sounds off the seashore
A percussion gently brushing the stones
Variable slaps on water from oars
A smiling fisherman rows his way home

Dancing sprites leap from the crackling embers
Pirouetting up in light from the moon
To be here in this moments the treasure
We can all have a piece of this fortune

Relax and be at peace with the world now
Swinging on the wind, I close my eyes - Ciao

A poem in the style of a sonnet, inspired by the mastoprompt word for 13th October 2025 - Lolly.

I call this piece 'Kids in a sweet shop'

A Treasure of flavours, locked behind glass
Sinister smile, from the sugar bourgeois
Naive temptation, hands warm up brass
Enticing senses, in this sweet boudoir

Tangy bright orange that makes the lips smack
Chocolate mint circle in green foil wrap
Sickly sweet lolly, rainbow powder crack
The bell says its mine, so much to unwrap

A sea of bright wrappers covers the floor
Blow raspberry bubbles, sugar rush grows
Telling dirty jokes that end in guffaws
Almost at the end of this sweet sickly prose

Kids in a sweet shop, moths to a fire
Bellies may ache, but peer pressure's desire

Mhaighdeann-mara
Wen

Gun Selkie
Chan eil geir gu leòr ann
A’ gàireachdainn, tharraing thu mi a-steach agus foidhpe
‘Tha gu leòr agad dhuinn le chèile’
Shleamhnaich sinn sìos
Ag èirigh a-mach gus ruighinn a-mach airson ceann na locha
Tlachd fhuar
Agus adhbhar airson pòg nuair a thàinig sinn a-mach
A’ fuireach a-rithist.

Mermaids
Wen

No Selkie I muttered
Not enough blubber
And laughing you pulled me in and under
‘You have enough for all both of us’
We dropped
Surfacing to strike for the end of the loch
A cold thrill
An excuse to hug when we emerge
Alive again

Painting of a mermaid combing here hair on the sea shore, A Mermaid, 1900 John William Waterhouse RA (1849 – 1917)

‘Climbing’
Gun roap, dìreach cleachdadh
Ràinig thu àrd
Cha mhòr nach robh e ri fhaighinn
Agus ghabh mi an sgàineadh
Fad gàirdean bho chèile
Sleamhnachadh, faighinn seachad air agus suas
Agus an uairsin air a’ mhullach
Cùl-mheud Pòg bheag
Casan crochte
Mar a bha sinn ag òl cofaidh
Ach bha sneachd san adhar
Agus dh’fhalbh sinn air an t-slighe fhada dhachaigh

The solo
Wen

‘Climbing’
No roap, just habit
You reached high
Barely in reach
And I took the crack
An arms length apart
A slip, recovery and up
And then on the top
A hug
A small kiss
Legs dangled
As we drank our coffee
But there was snow in the air
And we set off on the long walk home

behind her is a black shadow that resembles wings & from the tips of the shadow, her name is scrawled in uppercase black letters.

bright day - the hedgehog
wakened from hibernation
by the smell of spring

Hedgehog in spring is a watercolour painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small hedgehog with brown spines sits in bright green grass against a calm blue sky. He curiously stretches his nose into the air and sniffs the fresh spring air. He seems to be smiling. The loose brushstrokes of the watercolour lend the scene a gentle and peaceful aura.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

Alexander Gray
On a Cat, Ageing

He blinks upon the hearth-rug,
and yawns in deep content,
accepting all the comforts
that Providence has sent.

Louder he purrs, and louder,
in one glad hymn of praise
for all the night’s adventures,
for quiet, restful days.

Life will go on for ever,
with all that cat can wish;
warmth and the glad procession
of fish and milk and fish.

Only – the thought disturbs him –
he’s noticed once or twice,
the times are somehow breeding
a nimbler race of mice.
