Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a fear of long words. 

Don't have nightmares...

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Both confidant and sounding-board, take a seat in the silent confessional. ☕

HAIKU

The zebra crossing:

The road's very own barcode

Might be abstract art.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

 if all the teas in all the world

were laid out in a line 

they'd all go cold

so all be told

let's stick to yours and mine. ☕☕

HAIKU

Snoring keeps the dreams

From falling out of your head:

Noisy gatekeepers.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The quotidian with just a dash of the quixotic. ☕

HAIKU

Now dawn's light first breaks,

Thoughtful, racing baby steps

Through bejewelled grass.

HAIKU

Some Argy-bargy, 

But the Spanish flamenco

Wins the final dance.

HAIKU

Where do shadows hide 

When the light goes out at night?

They hide in plain sight.

HAIKU

A thought is stirring

When this heatwave is over

Who'll miss fans whirring?
