Dog rather confused
by an urgent sparrow trapped
bumping the window.
Both creatures in high alert
each frightened of the other.

Forgetful
Wrote a nice haiku
in my head this morning but…
can I recall it?
not even a single word
this tanka will have to do.

Star struck
As a young(ish) man
and she then a young woman
I pondered upon
possibilities beyond
my station. Out of my league.

In passing
Snatched conversation
‘e do it before I do’
do what? I wonder.

Home
Gentle emergence
from the mists of Bodmin Moor
to the streets of home.
My mind fixed on the former
though my body has returned.

Home at work
Unusual sound
baby cries in the office
to mixed reactions
a human reminder in
a sterile environment.

Night sky
Something magical
when a dog looks at the stars
in complete darkness
does he share my sense of awe,
feel our insignificance?

More than twenty four
Static in traffic
my attention is drawn to
a bush filled with birds
more sparrows than I can count
clustered in a tiny space.
Love
The Beatles said that
the love you take is equal
to the love you make
a sentiment I favour
but wonder if it is true.

He and I
I didn’t want him
I didn’t want him at all
but now I’ve got him
we walk together always
with mut(t)ual disrespect.
