HAIKU

A poet competes

In the 800 meters

But runs out of lines.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I wish I was an octopus - I could have eight first cups of tea. 🐙☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

HAIKU

In search of lost time

I stumble upon a scent

Of freshly mown grass.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Water, an essential part of the cuppa, was formed via hydrogen, produced at the time of the Big Bang, and oxygen, from the heart of an exploding supernova - that concludes today's lesson from the Open Universitea. ☕

HAIKU

Yesterday's footprints, 

Lost rhymes to the tide, we stride

Towards tomorrow.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

To slightly misquote Brian Clough - "I wouldn't say this is the best cup of tea of the day. But it's in the top one." ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The garden fence over which we gossip with imagination. ☕

HAIKU

Sunday knows the rules

It whispers its arrival 

And leaves me alone.

HAIKU

Crows call me awake

The Harbour Masters of dawn

Docking nascent light.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

carefully 

          pour

               it out

                 but 

invariably 

some of

of it 

                           gets spilled. ☕
