Haiku

Your train is delayed
Because of leaves on the line
With trees still attached

It's easier to
Weaponise a weapon that's
Already loaded

Death is part of life
But death is not the problem
The problem is loss

The word 'creative'
Is a bloody adjective
Not a feckin noun

The Duke spent the day
At home recovering from
Not having been hurt

-----

He's not Bo or Luke
But events do suggest that
The Duke's a hazard

-----

Breaking news just in:
It seems that there were people
In the other car

Neurotypicals
Seem odd because they can't see
The trees for the wood

Reclaim its real name
It is International
Working Women's Day

Let’s celebrate with
Words of wit and wisdom from
Inspiring women

"Freedom is always
The freedom of dissenters"
Rosa Luxemburg

"I had crossed the line
I was free but a stranger"
Harriet Tubman

Not all suffragettes
Followed the same politics
Even the Pankhursts

Storm wrecks Tower Bridge
Repaired with love and care and
Lots of Lego bricks

This is what happens
When I spend my bus journey
Composing haiku

​You don't often see
A bull in a china shop
Ordering spring rolls

Eavesdrop on buses
Poetry manuals suggest
But no-one's talking

​Hands-free mobile plus:
You can now get away with
Talking to yourself

If The Jam had sung
'In the City of London'
A thousand things crashed
