A hasty haiku
To complete a busy day
Sequence not broken
Keeping up the daily habit…

Haiku
Poem 856 – Rocky!
Frank-N-Furter struts
Fetch sparkling hats and fishnets
Bring anticipa………
At the Dominion for the Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th anniversary celebrations – not my usual Sunday evening.

Poem 852 – Back Home
Tripped by the time gap
Now discombobulated
Diary out of sync
It’s only a two hour difference but I’m wanting food at all the wrong times.

Poem 843 – Easter Monday
Poem 830 – Rehearsal
The hi-hat drives us
Searing guitar, popping bass
My ears are ringing
Rehearsing for our Good Friday ‘gig’

Poem 815 – Car Day
On the road all day
Driving to see my parents
Every mile worthwhile
A long day but great to see Mum and Dad

Poem 812 – Corporate Away Day Challenge
Badly cooked cuisine
And half baked shenanigans
Refunds all around
Catching up on The Apprentice at the end of a full day.

Poem 809 – Our Town
Welcome to our town
Here we are born, live, love, die
Generation stained
Just back from watching the brilliant Michael Sheen in Our Town. Tremendous.

Poem 794 – The Weather Report
Bad weather threatens,
Will it rain on our parade?
Gentleness saves us.
Some tricky pastoral situations today averted through the application of prayer and gentleness.

Poem 791 – Motorway Magic
The M25,
One wave of its wand can turn
Four hours into six
Too brain dead for anything more original tonight!
