Whilst on holiday at Center Parcs, much time was spent in the contemplation of nature (as seen through the bottom of a beer glass). On one particular evening, I was sitting outside with the crossword, and I ended up scribbling a couple of haiku in the margin. I'm not saying they're any good (and they're possibly not strictly haiku depending on how you interpret the whole syllable/"on" thing) but Vikki thought I should note them down using my phone and add them to the blob. Of course, I totally forgot about them until now, but for what it's worth, here you go:
clouds drift slowly by
the wind whispers in the birch
as the pigeon calls
dusk falls over all
silence reigns in the twilight
the trees are still now

The first one works, but I think your kigo is off in the second, but autumnal for a summer haiku, don't you think?
