Five haiku about the end of 'acting in'

i.
Two and a half years
I've been doing this job, yet
I must re-apply.

ii.
Enthusiasm -
Can I muster enough to
Fake sincerity?

iii.
Let's talk leadership.
Is the job interview best
to query its lack?

iv.
Only merit can
Give meaning to an offer
Of any value.

v.
How good should I be?
Do they want excellence, or
compliant bullshit?

Chris Gill
lithuanian
policeman and poet; it's
too hard to fathom...

Cathy writes a birthday haiku for Ian

Age is not in years
But in attitude, they say...
Happy birthday, Ian... mate

easy to be generous
when there's still time
