#1

looking out my window
courting birds dance on branches
as the ravens caw

#2

a crow’s plaintive caw
calling across the grey sky
his murder swoops in…

All aboard for morning town…

haiku #1

All aboard the train
Groove to your favourite tunes
Feet tapping in time…

haiku #2

random encounters
with faceless strangers exchanged
for a life with me

haiku #3

past passed security
throbbing bass in the darkness
you are the music

Inspired this morning to write three quite different haiku. Writing on the train is always a challenge. My thoughts are so random. Often the music I am listening too shapes the haiku. I might try writing to a theme as Scot does at Be Not Inhospitable to Strangers. He wrote a Jamaican Trilogy.

Last night I went to see The Future of the Australian Race. I can recommend it for you library types and those of you interested in ideas. Wonderful, set, performance and writing. Who knew a play about bohemian librarian and conservative judge could be so riveting. We donated about 300 discarded bound exam papers to the writers and they looked wonderful on set. We get a mention in the program.
