A pantoum today?
That was my true intention
But now? Too late. Haiku?
I don’t know where the days gone? Tomorrow!

Haiku
Poem 882 – Running in Circles
Collecting high fives
As we run around the field –
Smiles until the end
An annual joy is joining Broxbourne Primary School pupils for their annual Todd Walcott memorial run. Yet again they all did the school proud – even the parents!

Poem 881 – SATs Are Done
Poem 875 – Haiku for the Morning of the Day After Election Day
Day after the count
My eyes are blurry, brain dead
Fetch more coffee! Now!
At Broxbourne’s count until the wee hours last night. Gripping stuff but exhausting.

Poem 857 – A Poem a Day
A hasty haiku
To complete a busy day
Sequence not broken
Keeping up the daily habit…

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
