I have found a place
full of sparkling clarity

A Lovely Haiku
It’s not one of mine. I read it in a magazine at the Poetry Library one afternoon when I should have been at work. It’s by a lady called Doreen King, I don’t remember what the magazine was called so apologies to the publisher. Doreen King, thank you – it’s fabulous!

Two New Haiku
Today’s haiku are dedicated to SouthWest Trains (Grrr):
the train now standing
outside Waterloo station
full of frustration
we breathe the same air
germs in germs out commuters
share the common cold
Good haiku should be timeless, ambiguous and reflect nature. Oh well, try again tomorrow.

Actually today is quite mild but this is right for lots of recent mornings.
trees dormant between
green patches on frosted grass
December sun shine

The Starlings
graceful flocks above
ancient streets splattered with poop
Rome’s new enemy
