Autumn rains
Soak into woollen jackets
Risotto tonight

Cathy Dineen

Angst as things collide,
In haste I may have bitten
More than I can chew.

James Fetherson

iii.
Scissor Sisters' new song
It's incredibly campy
Fantastically so

Simon Patience

killing me softly
with double stuffed Oreos
slowy and surely

Ian Row

trip-trip tripping the
anesthetic fantastic
a sub-consc tourist

You were reckless with
my heart. The damage you’ve done,
you thoughtless fugger.

Spot Haiku 13 - Part 2 of 2

a pre-cog suite

i.
You knew I'd write these,
and that they'd be just like this,
these pre-cog haiku.

ii.
These blessed, cursed verses
seem to offer you a choice
about the last line.

iii.
But we're here again
wondering, as it happens,
why you're not surprised.

iv.
You've heard it before
in Minority Report
by Philip K Dick.

v.
Who takes credit? Blame?
Is foreknowledge authorship?
Why are you smiling?

vi.
In the end, of course,
all your choices led you here.
Like to choose again?
