Haiku
|
Riding Cambourne bus
spinning whispers into words
for Helen's haiku.
|
|
Sun stabs day awake.
Black crows curl through bone-cold sky.
Drowsy cat ventures. |
Behind her bounces
daughter, staring eyes, bad hair:
apprentice tiger. |
Frosted grass repels
cautious silent stalker, with
clumsy cuddly child. |
Tiptoeing parent
and terrorist trajectile
trample dormant plants. |
By crumbling woodshed,
they freeze for glimpse of field-mouse,
seeking snack or toy. |
Breeze makes kitten jump
but parent teaches patience:
power proudly paused. |
Movement! Coil unsprings.
Mother misses; child retreats.
Breakfast is postponed.

Notes
If you'd like to show off your work on this world-wide wonder, here's the place to do it.
Send us an email with your work attached, and we'll put it up. You must state in the email that you own the copyright. If you don't own the copyright, we can't display it.
In the UK, broadly speaking, if you made the work, and you didn't copy from someone else's work, then you own the copyright. There's no need to register copyright. You can give anyone else permission to republish it without asking us.
By asking us to display the work, you are granting us a non-exclusive right to display it on this web site. You are not giving up any other rights in your work; we don't "take" the copyright from you.
The text and images on this site are all copyright © by their original authors. However, you should be aware that not everyone respects copyright. If you're worried about your work being stolen, don't ask us to showcase it.
You might not want us to show your work if it's a piece of writing, or something else, that you intend to sell. Most commercial publishers want "first" rights, and won't republish anything already published on the web.
We reserve the right not to display your work for any reason whatsoever. Obviously, we'll decline work that appears to promote racial hatred, violence and so on. And our space and bandwidth are limited, so we couldn't put up a feature length movie, for example.
All text and images on this site are copyright © 2008 by their original authors, and are used here with permission.
