- One of a pair of haiku, to be read with Peacock. The inspiration came from two mysterious cards stuck to a wall in Ward Street, Bristol.
- This haiku is heavily influenced by the magnificent and mischievous Poet Rummager and her ‘Hungry Love‘ haiku, with thanks.

Delicate whisper
of Autumn’s steady advance;
