The haiku sensation that is sweeping across London
Related Articles
27 May 2009
Soft grey skies muffle
the hopeful blossoms scented
with leftover sun
Sensational sunshine
Or dreary drizzly days
The London Lotto
Landed at Heathrow to
unenglish blue skies and sun
What a lovely day!
What should annoy me
Instead makes me love you more
London is my home
Worry where were bees
Was assuaged when two assailed
With love the blue sage
Rattling tube trains
Push wind through the station
Her breath on my cheek
Spring rain pattering
Against the tube train windows
She keeps on talking
On railway tracks
In the silent station
The wrong type of snow
Tramp in a doorway
Sleeping under yesterday's
Financial Times
Deathshead Hawkmoth
In the British Museum
My breath on the glass
City office block
Seventeen storeys up
A single light
Late night closing
Broken glass in the gutter
Reflecting starlight
Mist round the street lamp
An orange-grey dream dragon
Fading into dawn
Morning hangover
The sun flashing from windows
Without a warning
East Sheen showers
I peddle the wet tow path
To my office shelter
Over the lych gate
To the Jesuits' graveyard
A pair of jackdaws
The strawberry moon
caught between glass and beer-mat
a burnet six-spot
May bank holiday
Jackdaws snaffle midges from
A fallow deer's back
Morning commute
The train's momentum
In the small of my back
The ferry boat makes
For the Middlesex side
Parakeet calls
First in the office
My whistling echoes
Up the stairwell
May evening
All the shop dummies
Unclothed
City garden:
A bather's ribcage
Points to the sky
Along the lane
Of whitewashed cottages
Her summer dress
Summer rain
The clank of a ladder
Somewhere outside
Solstice night
Hearing every raindrop
Hit the stones
