desperate to get inside.
Far too cold outside.

a tanka about the winter freeze
Frost bitten snowfall
covers all deep, pinches tight.
Numb and paralyzed.
Hibernating warm indoors.
Waiting for the thawing sun.

Snowball fight ensues

haikus for a saturday night
.SaturdayNight.
Lit chinese dragon
formed from taxi headlights, snakes
crawling down highstreet.
.SillyAdverts.
Pack of women hunt
war cry of.'Here come the girls!'
Damn you, boots adverts.

haikus about christmas trade
.LazyShopping.
Shops bustle for trade
Christmas presents three for two.
Not for me I hope.
.PoorBuys.
Thumbed and torn remains
those last few Christmas bargins.
Budget buying skills.

platform edge
I check my breath
its stale from thoughts unsaid
I take a step forward,
shuffle my feet
and put a hopeful look on my face.
Stood here waiting
with my broken latched suitcase
tucked under one arm.
At this crumbling platform edge
surrounded by
my nervous echoing cough,
I check my watch,
it doesnt matter
the batteries died long ago.
In the distance a shimmering hope
rolls effortlessly down
these overgrown tracks
like a JML rust remover
All things are restored
to original beauty
as you pass through.
That annoucement,
crackles over the dusty tannoy
in this forgotten place.
Your arrival draws a simple smile
patiently wait,
for your carriages to open.
others appear
and step aboard
Whistles blows your departure.
I check my breath
its stale from thoughts unsaid
and take a step forward
shuffle my feet
and put a hopeful look upon my face.
In the distance a shimmering hope
rolls effortlessly down
these overgrown tracks
like a jml rust remover
All things are restored
to original beauty
as you pass through.
These tracks begin to rust over again
as I sit on my suitcase
waiting for the next arrival.

a haiku about presents
.BarbedPresents.
Presents wrapped tightly
folded sharp corners. Beware!
Impatient gropers.

tanka about patient cormorant
Patient cormorant
waits for that striking moment
sustenance reward.
those calm often see further
without distorting splashes.

A tanka about christmas
Christmas tree unpacked
stands proud, countdown now begins.
Illuminated.
Now awaiting those presents
santa not for the greedy.

tucked in
Winter,
no chins on show.
Dug deep
like a heavy spade,
into coat collar
and scarf.
To avoid this cold,
zero below.
