Haiku 13

Neither slow nor worm

unkind, lazy misnomer

lizard without legs

Lunch Break

 

At my weary desk

pork pie and sandwich for lunch

dreaming of Summer.

A different emphasis

A departure from the natural history haiku today

 

Public sector cuts

diminish the services

we take for granted.

 

by Scooj

I work in the public sector and with the UK election in full swing I thought I would start to voice my thoughts through haiku. It isn’t just health and education (which are reasonably well protected) it is all the other public services we should be worried about. Especially when it comes to the environment.

there is so much we don’t see

because we don’t look.

An arranged marriage

of wrought iron and living wood

Delicate petals

an ephemeral beacon

softly heralds Spring
