Haiku 15



Off-white states of mind

Dimity, Archive, Stony Ground
Farrow and Ball shades.

Blackened, Bone, Plummett,
Down Pipe, Black Blue, Pale Powder,
Dead Flat, Skylight, Clunch.

Friday Feeling
A sensation of falling towards,
like the cold is inside you,
like the certain knowledge
you will never be happy again.
@JonnElledge

The sad sounds
of a broken
cucaracha car horn.

Passing clouds are
somebody else's rain.

Today
Uncomfortable office environment.
Cold air in the sunny sky.
Wind-whipped waves briefly glimpsed.

A deserted 20-lane highway
runs through Myanmar's
empty capital city.

Lady Blanche Arundell, aged 61,
defended Wardour castle
with a garrison of 25 men,

but it fell, ruined.
I take tea
looking at the fallen walls.

A cool wind bringing
the smell of Spring wafts across
the work car park.

Lovely desiccation cracks

at end of A Corridor!
Will sand be blown in to preserve them
before it rains? Er, no...

I saw some while walking
on the fields yesterday!
Was going to take a photo but thought
who would be that sad?!
@SwchsGeology


A herd of elephants
moved into the apartment upstairs
and they stomp like humans
living their lives, braving rare troubles,
clinging to hope.

Entombed in this strange white stone hill
are the deadly remains
of radioactive weapons production.

To @pavementgeologyYou have taught me to look down,
but mostly I see rubber bands
and lost, single mittens.

I no longer fear Death
but I do fear ending up
on an episode of Heir Hunters.
@Markgatiss

Above the roar of rush-hour traffic,
the most beautiful liquid song
of a blackbird perched on a TV aerial
high above Great Portland Street.
Hugh Pearman

Thousands of feet walk
over fossils of eons-dead creatures
at the airport in Stockholm every day.
@lornarichardson

We go home via the recycling centre,
and receive a short but earnest lecture on the Astral Plane
from the man who helps us unload our bags.
Kate Long ‏@volewriter

Driving home from the vets,
I'm forced to brake hard.
Suddenly there is a guinea pig
loose in the footwell.
Which of us is more panicked?
Kate Long ‏@volewriter

Roses are red,
Violets are purple, yellow or white,
And their seeds are dispersed by ants! So cool.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Bird and Moon ‏@RosemaryMosco Feb 12

Sunny, chilly Blackheath.
What's that smell?
Ah yes, money.
Don Constance ‏@snaprails

Oniropolis
I wished to recall
my dreams. Now I spend each night
mapping their city.

Writer Ronald Duncan
wrote his epic 5 volume poem 'Man'
in this hut. I, on the other hand,
ate a cheese sandwich.
