Sugar baby

 

A sum of three crowns

but sadly none the wiser

’70s decay.

Silence

 

City without cars

benefit of pitching snow

everything is calm.

  • Bristol rarely gets snow, so this event is noteworthy, it is also worth highlighting that Bristolians have their own word for ‘settling’ (of snow) which is ‘pitching’ so I have used it in this haiku. Walking to work was a pleasure this morning on two counts, firstly the sheer beauty of seeing the world through a different lens and secondly the almost complete absence of cars. It set me thinking how beautiful the world would be with fewer cars on the road, they are a convenient nuisance.

Tomorrow’s forecast

 

Looming threat of snow

excited and uneasy

in equal measure.

Incarcerated

 

Computer-screen grey

skies mirror the drudgery

of working at home.

Neither one thing…

Cold but not so cold

Europe but not so Europe

this is the UK.

Letting go

 

I’m attached to things

because of what, when or who

they remind me of.

F.A. Cup jitters

time to silence babyface

come on you Gunners.

  • on anticipating a tense match tonight between my beloved Arsenal and Manchester United (boo). Always a juicy fixture.

Being dad

 

A figure of hate

I’m enemy number one

trying to keep calm.

Dentist appointment

 

Shredded to ribbons

suffering anaesthetic

cheek lacerations.
