It’s twenty twenty
Still believe you’re in control?

“Written in present tense without metaphor or personification Haiku 5/7/5 typically contains a seasonal reference and a cutting word. Senryu is less strict and tends to be darkly humorous. Tanka is a Japanese poem in 5/7/5/7/7, giving a complete picture of an event or mood.”
Haiku 28.10.18
tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
winter knocks like a rude guest
knuckles thick as hail
sun drenched and wind swept
milky skin in Eastern glow
rouge lips i will taste,
small hands in thick desires
ruined with impatient zeal
peering through the pane
see London thunder and storm
like a lonely child
Damp, morning puddles
the earth, she softens, sun smiles
Winter skips to Spring
Red and yellow cranes
Soar above warm London skies
Stretching their long feet
Haiku 08.03.15
Guttural gunshots
Beneath silhouetted sky
Send Copts to the light
Pre-Valentine Haiku
our love’s like Paris
delightful in hushed daydreams
cramped and rusty in truth
Haiku XL
October is jammed
Between subtle Septembers,
Nordic Novembers
Blacksburg Haiku I
For resurrection:
Blades brown and kiss earth before
Summer’s sudden storms
Haiku XXXIX
Mother’s lullaby:
Warmth and light, sure as sunrise
Quelling winter’s cries
Haiku XXXVIII
Summer’s golden locs
Shimmering in autumn’s breeze
Wither in winter
Haiku XXXVII
Braids set as a crown.
O! You deserve so much more
more than this haiku
