I Wonder (If they are happy)

I wonder why he chose the red Porsche.

What does he do to afford a car like that anyway?

I wonder which is her favourite Caribbean island.

Do you think they fly business class or just 1st class?

I wonder what's their house is worth 

and which sunny clime she got that sun tan from?

I wonder who her favourite designer is.

and I wonder what she sees in him - do you think they're happy?

(Haiku)

With great discomfort
comes the joy that perhaps this 

route is incorrect 

A Million Miles Away

A beautiful dream about having to work 

woke me under the light of a broken street lamp

directing me to the sea

through streets full of empty echos 

the misty childhood memories 

a head full of holes where life rushed in

waves crashing the names of class mates

smoking in the park

stamping out fag butts

jumping streams

like dogs chasing dogs

catching

heavy clouds so lightly from the sky

the relentless noise from fifty years ago 

and a million miles away

(Haiku)

Cornwall. A place with

much too much beauty for just 

a single haiku.

(Haiku)

Was there a time when

I wasn't a poet? No!

I just didn't know

(Haiku)

Packing. Find sand in 

sink and fridge! It must've been 

a good holiday!
