A Haiku for you
This is ‘your’ haiku,
it’s precious, look after it,
it will serve you well.
“Cosy Tanka, anyone?”
“Keep away from me!
I am trying to stay free
of the cruel virus.”

“But, we just want to join you,
become a cosy Tanka.”
Herdog’s Blanket
“It’s ‘Herdog’s Blanket!”
“What is? What are you saying?”
“Just being silly.”

Do Butterflies Have Parties?
I saw a butterfly
in the sky
flutter by;
I don’t know why;
perhaps he,
or, maybe, she,
was on their way
to a…
party.
The Sadness of Sardines
I don’t really know
how a sardine feels;
or any fish,
if truth be told;
but I’m sure they’re fine
whilst swimming around;
but, when crammed in a tin,
like… well, tightly,
I bet they’re not so happy.
Lockdown Diary
Lockdown, Day 1
Diary entry:
Stocked up with lots of food,
should be a doddle.
Lockdown, Day 2
Diary entry:
Ran out of chocolate eggs,
damn this cruel lockdown.
Lockdown, Day 153
Diary entry:
I ate my left foot, today;
it was less than nice.
Lockdown, Day 413
Diary entry:
just a whoosh of tumbleweed,
and all blank pages
Mrs Pearsons Cottage (Unvisited)
I’ve never been there,
and I know not what
there is there;
so if you are to visit,
is it safe?
I don’t know.
Are you as stray as a waif?
Can you cope with the unknown?
Should you go accompanied upon the piano,
or sole mio alone?
But, if you do go,
please report back,
whether it is, ‘hurrah! hooray!’
or, ‘alas! alack!’
Mrs Pearsons Cottage
is an enigma,
wrapped inside a conundrum,
coated with an oriental mystery sauce.

Mrs Pearsons Cottage
Mrs Pearsons Cottage (Revisited)
is the cottage
where all the Mrs Pearsons go,
if there’s ever a missing person,
by the name of Mrs Pearson;
that, is where she’s sure to go.
