HAIKU

Haikus will vibrate 

Long after they've been written:

Light perpetual.

HAIKU

After the downpour

Lawns glisten with tiny jewels

Blinking in the sun.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The gatekeeper to the morning. But a friendly one. Probably wears a flat cap and is called Ned. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Pondering over a cuppa - I've never been to a tea dance - does the tea lead or do we? ☕

HAIKU

Time spreads itself out;

Like a mattress from a box

Set free on the week.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Scientists have x-rayed a handwritten original copy of Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare and found this remarkable edit by the Bard. ☕

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

 ̶O̶r̶ ̶s̶h̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶I̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶d̶r̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶i̶c̶e̶?̶

Thou art more lovely and more temperate

HAIKU

Sunday's precious gift

Is crumpled duvet lie-ins

Shared with crumbs of toast.

HAIKU

A single wren sings

With its tiny machine gun

Spraying the morning.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The Great Escape - and no Steve McQueen or motorbike needed. ☕

HAIKU

Haiku's are fleeting

A ripe, hidden blackberry 

Picked to perfection.
